I have a Debian libc6 (upgraded from libc5). So let's start with that in mind.
I recently picked up the Moonlight Creator package in the Unstable distribution and installed it and it's required components. (using dselect) The problem is that I receive a core dump when I attempt to run it. I traced the problem (I believe) to libpthread libraries in the /lib directory. These are the thread libraries I currently have in /lib: libpthread-0.7.so libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread.so.0.6 libpthread.so.0.6 When I set LD_PRELOAD to libpthread-0.7.so Moonlight loads and runs correctly (provided that is I run it from an rxvt/xterm session as Window Maker doesn't execute a shell (thereby giving no environment) to a program). Without this LD_PRELOAD statement the program core dumps. I have not installed libpthreads in dselect so I assume that these libraries are a part of the libc6-dev stuff, else its laying around from the older libc5 installation I had. So: 1. Which libpthread libs should I have? 2. Is it safe to remove libpthread.so.0.6 in lieu of libpthread-0.7.so? I can get Moonlight Creator to run as long as I run it from an rxvt/xterm and set LD_PRELOAD appropriately. There must be some easy solution, yes? I have already tried creating an alias in my .xsession, but since WindowMaker (like most window managers) doesn't give a program a shell upon execution this makes no difference. I've also tried setting LD_PRELOAD from my .xsession.. the most noticeable things were that my rxvt/xterm sessions totally disobeyed their settings in my .Xdefaults file. Most notably Netscape refused to run. Any ideas on what's wrong or what needs to be changed? -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble?
