Mark, you're in the Bay Area aren't you? Going to be a Linux World next week? I work about five blocks away and it would be cool to put some faces to names and get a beer or two. kashani
Kashani, I had no plans for Linux World. Never been to one. That said it sounds like fun. Let's try to work something up off list. I'm down in Los Gatos. If other Gentoo users are nearby maybe they can drop one of us a note off list and we can make it a small party. Sounds like fun. OK, I emerged lib-compat but it didn't change the results: dragonfly ~ # eix -Ic lib-compat [I] sys-libs/lib-compat (1.4.1): Compatibility C++ and libc5 and libc6 libraries for programs new and old Found 1 matches dragonfly ~ # After running updatedb slocate finds the library: dragonfly ~ # slocate libc.so /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc.so /usr/lib/libc.so.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/Desktop $ sh ./thinkorswim_installer.bin Preparing to install...

The installer expects the library to be in a certain location? Maybe a symlink from there to /lib/libc.so.6? Thanks for getting me closer, and I'll check out Linux World for dates to see when I could make it. Cheers, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
