PPP to ISP -Freeserve UK == cack

My Debian box is now connected - and surprise, surprise , there was nothing wrong with it. The problem was with Freeserve (UK) - who don't seem to accomodate Linux at all. Couldn't ping, nslookup didn't work, mozilla didn't work. Only question is how Micro$oft crap works on it. Anyway I have con

Shared libraries and getting Wordperfect to work

I finally got Wordperfect to work on my newly installed Slink system - thanks primarily to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I needed to install xlib6 out of the oldlibs directory (as well as libc5 - which I knew about), and libXpm (I think it was) also from oldlibs. Thanks also to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PR

Can't find shared libraries

I installed slink using the CD that came with the New Riders book and seem to have a problem finding shared libraries. When I try and run wordperfect I get - xwp: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' locate libXt.so.6 produces /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 I check permissio

PPP to ISP

Please bear with me guys - I am having a bit of trouble all in all, getting my Debian system to work nicely ( I love it though). I have set up a PPP connection to my ISP (Freeserve in UK). Connection gets established OK - ifconfig shows it's up and routing tables have sensible entries. However I

Wordperfect 8 seg fault

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 libr

Wordperfect 8 seg fault

Any ideas why Wordperfect 8 seg faults immediately on start-up?
