Re: Bug with libraries? -I'm having this problem!
Hello, I installed Debian 1.2.6 with the fixes and had the same problem. The solution, it turns out, is to update the path listing in /etc/ld.so.conf by adding a line that says /usr/X11R6/lib, without the quotes of course, and then running /sbin/ldconfig to update the ld cache (/etc/ld.so.cache). According to the ldconfig man page, ldconfig is normally run at boot time, but it was commented out in my configuration. This is probably a mistake in the installation process. See the ld.so and ldconfig man pages. Perhaps a message was flashed to me during the installation of the X clients which used those libraries or the X libraries themselves and I just missed it. Loading a library dynamically is a fairly new concept to me and the workings of ld.so even newer. If there was a message it should be clearer. If there was no message there should be. Or have the installation process uncomment the line that invokes lddconfig. It sure had my panties in a bunch for a while. Good luck! -Patrick === = Patrick Ryan[EMAIL PROTECTED] [] PGP key in = = http://newhutch.fhcrc.org/Patrick [] web space! = === -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Could you post a solution (fix) to this problem? put the line /usr/X11R6/lib in ld.so.conf. This was a bug from early versions of 1.2. It should be fixed in newer releases and in unstable.
