Subject: [gentoo-user] Xterm can't find libXaw.so.8 after Xorg update
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2006 14:36:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060701183623.GB15024@waltdnes.org> (raw)
So X runs, but no xterms, with an error message about not being able
to find libXaw.so.8. First, I checked to see what was available...
m3000[root][~] ll /usr/lib/libXaw.so.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 1 02:33 /usr/lib/libXaw.so.6 -> libXaw6.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 1 02:33 /usr/lib/libXaw.so.7 -> libXaw7.so.7
Then I kludged together an ugly workaround...
[m3000][root][~] cd /usr/lib
[m3000][root][/usr/lib] ln -s /usr/lib/libXaw.so.7 libXaw.so.8
Much to my surprise, the damn thing actually works. But I know that
somewhere down the line, this will come back to bite me. How do I get
the real libXaw.so.8 built?
