Well, I think what I specifically did, which I realize in retrospect may
have been stupid was
cd /usr/Sofitmage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin
cp /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 .
that would copy the file /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 to the path
/usr/Sofitmage/Softimage_2011/Application/bin and is pretty much what you
wanted to do (except for libXext.so.6 likely being a symlink) but would not
expect a completely broken System.
which I thought meant 'here'.
"." is the current directory, yes.
I did try various permutations of just that from zypper (openSuSE
package management) and eventually from yast, but I couldn't figure out
how to reinstall. It (yast) told me that I would break all kinds of
dependencies if I removed the package ( libXext6 )
You need to "upgrade" the package - removing the libXext package will leave you
with a pretty naked system, yes :)
Right! This means that I just needed to put a pointer back, nothing big.
I think.
Ideally, yes - but since you re-installed everything, that's now pointless.
Oh I see, it had what it need where it new it needed it. Now neither
case is true
"In a way" ;-)
Thats one of the paths I had followed looking at something like;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=libXext.spec&package=libXext&project=openSUSE%3A12.2&rev=14945e6c6db1aa638783399857fb50b8
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=libXext&project=openSUSE
%3A12.2
libext in that package contains the undefined _XGetRequest symbol and the
libX11 in that repo does contain the _XGetRequest function definition.
About the reputation of that repository, i cannot say the least, but it looks
official?
Not sure if I get it, but there is a program which ships with softimage
called cmdreg
I do not know what that does, sorry.
man cmdreg
should tell you.
I have seen mentioned a command like
cmdreg -f XSICOMDLLs.lst
and also to set the environment one is to 'source'
the /usr/Softimage/Sofimage_2011/.xsi_2011 file (in tcsh)
"source /usr/Softimage/Sofimage_2011/.xsi_2011"
evaluates whatever that script does, but i do not believe the end user is
supposed to do such.
Also it will not fix your _XGetRequest problem, so i suggest to solve that
first, before you hack random commands into the shell, just because you found
them on the internet. :-\
Cheers,
Thomas
