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? -- Walter Dnes In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
