No problems here.
Run and report on:
$ dpkg -s xosview
$ strace xosview
...the first tells what version of xosview you've got installed, the
second may show what's bombing out with xosview -- last few hundred
lines (or less) of output may be informative.
I'm running:
Package: xosview
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 248
Maintainer: Zed Pobre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.7.3-2
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libstdc++2.10, libxpm4, xlib6g (>= 3.3.6)
I was going to suggest 'ld $( which xosview )' as well, but I find that
ld doesn't appear to work as advertised on my system:
$ ld $( which xosview )
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0804a760
...I'm not super familiar with the linker's functionality anyway.
Someone got the kudgel of enlightement handy?
