I find British plain crosswords are too simple (about the level of a NYT Monday or Tuesday) and the cryptic crosswords are a completely different kettle of fish, perfect for when you want your ego smashed by failing to complete more than a quarter of the answers. I've become used to the NYT style and like to solve it every day, which I can usually do, even the fiendish Saturdays. The NYT also has a Java version. I dislike it, as I dislike all other Java crosswords out there. For one thing, you can't usually save them and continue later. For another, they all use different keyboard conventions and are generally clunky. Anyway, this is getting way off-topic :-) poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It even displays the crossword grid (with no text) and immediately segfaults. If run with no command-line argument it starts normally and presents the File Open dialogue. Trying to open the puzzle causes the segfault (I tried several different puzzles just in case). Just for the hell of it I also tried both versions from the NYT site (one is statically linked to the Motif lib, the other is dynamic). Interestingly, they are both different from the one I have, and neither will even attempt to run: $ ./acrossl bash: ./acrossl: /lib/ld-linux.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory ldd of course doesn't help here, since it needs to run the binary. However I suspect it wants the i386 version of glibc rather than the installed i686 (which coincides with my original post even for the wrong reason). I'm not sure I can even install the i386 glibc without wreaking havoc. > [...@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 > /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 > [...@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl > ./acrossl: symbol lookup error: ./acrossl: undefined symbol: __eh_pc > > That appears more googlable, but at this point I have to admit I lost > interest...

I prefer crosswords on Paper :o) I don't have access to any interesting newspaper crosswords on paper, as I live outside the distribution area of the English-language press.

Mmmm... I think my point, seeing as I was starting from a clean 32bit Fedora installation is that there are multiple points where the compatibility libraries no longer exist. My example would be libc.so.5 which I cheated by symlinking to libc.so.6 - that's not a particularly valid thing to do. What I don't understand is where the version you have comes from. The README file I got with the version I downloaded clearly states that it is linked against libg++.so.27 - but I have no such library or anything close - I'd be curious if you do... [...@nc10 acl]$ cat README | grep -B11 -A3 libg++ The program is dynamically linked to the following libraries which must exist in a path searched by the loader in order to run the program: libXt.so.6 (X11R6 tested with 6.0 libraries) libXext.so.6 libX11.so.6 libc.so.5 (tested with 5.2.18) libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6 libXpm.so.4 (tested with 4.7) libg++.so.27(tested with 27.1.0 which is actually 2.7.1.0) libstdc++.so.27 " libm.so.5 (tested with 5.0.5) -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://

Re: Across Lite for F12 32-bit, an i686 vs i386 issue?

Could this be the problem? The app being compiled for i386 shouldn't be an issue. Having old compatibility libraries instead of up to date ones might be. Are the compatibility libraries you are using not in F12? I don't remember seeing any get dropped, but I might not be using the same ones you are. I am using iHEAT at work, which was built a while ago and needs some compatibility libraries to work. It runs pretty well on F12. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
