I have a Nexenta elatte "gnusolaris" partition alongside my NV_27a with a GNOME 2.12 JDS build. Nexenta is based on the same kernel code and also contains a GNOME 2.12 desktop. Unfortunately the binaries for the gnusolaris versions of these applications aren't easily interchangable with the binaries in Nevada. For example when I try to run gnusolaris zenity on Nevada, it fails because it expects libXi.so.6 and we have libXi.so.5. If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /gnusolaris/usr/lib and /gnusolaris/lib, the gnusolaris binaries run O.K. I was also told that libXi.so.6 and libXi.so.5 are probably the same library with a different name!
The real solution for that specific problem is to get all the distributions using the same source for X libraries - unfortunately, that's currently impossible, as Sun Solaris uses a X code base that's closed source and would break binary compatibility with older Solaris versions if we just cut over to the Xorg open source release. I really am working to get as much as we can of Solaris X released via OpenSolaris as soon as possible (and libraries like libX11 and libXi won't be in the first set of code released), but unfortuantely have a day job competing with that work, so it's going slower than anyone wants. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
