      That extension is missing or corrupt. Go to another MAC running the same app and copy that file to the other MAC. Don’t be surpised if you need more than that one extension. Hope this helps…Frank

      Sometimes you fall into a pitfall copying extensions. You think you need just one, then all of a sudden you find yourself copying 20 extensions (especially when it comes to Microsoft software on the Mac!). You’re best bet is to reinstall Outlook 98.

      The previous answers are almost
      certainly correct, but there’s a bit more to
      it, just to make your life more difficult.

      These kind of ‘library missing’ errors
      cannot usually be solved by locating a
      system extension with that name and
      copying it to your system folder. The
      libraries cited in these error messages
      are almost always really parts of library
      collections whose name can’t be readily
      determined from the name in the error
      message.

      For instance, if you uninstall the Apple
      Guide extension and then try to launch
      Quicken, you’ll get a message that the
      AppleGlueGuideLib could not be found –
      but that library is part of the Apple Guide
      extension, not a separate extension you
      can locate and copy to system folder.
