ldd may show all the libraries but there may be conflicts.. hard to explain cuz i hardly understand myself, but i will say that my wordperfect8 was broken for several months(as was realvideo player and other libc5 apps) because of misconfiguration of libc5, eventually i started playing with it, and got it working..now the only libc5 app i cant get running is xview.
sorry i cant help u more! nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Mon, 1 Nov 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks for your reply - I've been thinking > along those lines - I actually installed libc5 quite > early on. > Am I right in thinking if "ldd xwp" shows all the > libaries can be found then that is not the problem? > > I understood that as long as the library path is listed in > /etc/ld.so.conf then the library should be locatable > at run time and presumably by the ldd command.
