I'm attempting to get WindowMaker compiled and installed, and I'm
running into some strange errors that I can't interpret.
Everything seems to work fine in the configure/make/make install process
with the following exception (this warning is seen at the end of the
"make" process)
---
ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so, may
conflict with l
ibc.so.5
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/WindowMaker-0.18.1/test'
---
After completing the install and attempting to run wmaker from using the
new .xinitrc, X loads, I get the ugly gray "X" screen, and then X shuts
down. A message similar to the following is seen (may not be exact
wording -- trying to remember this stuff at work):
--
libc.so.5: Error loading shared library files, file not found
--
I noticed that the file referenced in the compile warning was the same
one crapping out during startx. I took a look for libc.so.* on my
machine and found the following:
---
[root@bourbon WindowMaker-0.18.1]# find / -name libc.so.*
/dosd/RedHat/RedHat/instimage/lib/libc.so.6
/home/ftp/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.5.4.46
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libc.so.4
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libc.so.4.7.2
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5.3.12
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5
/opt/Office40/lib/libc.so.5.4.46
/opt/Office40/lib/libc.so.5
[root@bourbon WindowMaker-0.18.1]#

Any ideas? My buddy keeps telling me how cool WindowMaker is, and I'm
jealous!
BTW -- this list is great, you guys have been really helpful. I was a
UNIX sysadm about 7 years ago (AT&T 3b2) and I've been feeling pretty
stupid lately. I especially enjoy it when Richard pops in with his 2
cents -- the clouds part, the angels sing, and we all bask in the glow
of his wisdom..
Richard: "You're all worthless and weak, now drop and give me twenty...
OK, now that that's over with, compile the kernel as follows..." We
newbies are lucky to have guys like him and the many other gurus
available to help.
TIA
Dave
