Alan,

You will get a warning or two about not being able to load
libpano12.lib.so, which can be safely ignored.

But I believe the main problem of ptpicker not working stems from the
fact that libpano12.so depends on some obsolete math & JPEG libraries:

# ldd libpano12.so
	/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40038000)
	libm.so.5 => not found
	libjpeg.so.6 => not found
	libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x40044000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40083000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

It appears that PanoTools 1.2 was built on an older Linux distribution
with an older libc/glibc (of which libm is a part), and mixing glibc
versions is problematic.  (I'm running a _heavily_ modified Red Hat
Linux 6.1).  Forcing libpano12.so to point to the older libraries did not
work for me (the GUI comes up but things like stitching don't work,
under IBM JDK 1.1.8).

I'm pretty sure all that needs to be done is for PanoTools 1.2 to be
recompiled on a newer Linux distribution.

Helmut, would you be so kind as to release the recompiled binaries
for Linux?

Thank you!
