After upgrading ldso, libc6 and several other packages, several packages failed to work, responding "segmentation violation", xv, xfig, xephem The cause of this was my setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc. I had used this setting with no problems for a year under rex and bo.
To correct this, I tried many combinations of paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, including those in /etc/ld.so.conf. I could never get all packages to work with any LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I could get xv and xfig to work, but then vim would respond "caught deadly signal SEGV". The file /etc/ld.so.conf seems to do properly what LD_LIBRARY_PATH did. I presume we should NO longer use the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. -- Jim Burt, NJ9L, Fairfax, Virginia, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mnsinc.com/jameson "If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience." --William James, Varieties of Religious Experience -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
