I ran into the same thing a week or so ago; humbug% ldd /usr/local/netscape/netscape libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000b000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x4004d000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x40056000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6 (0x4006b000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x4007d000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4008b000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x40096000) libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40134000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40137000) libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libg++.so.27 (0x401f5000) libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libstdc++.so.27 (0x4022d000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4025e000) you want to know which package contains libXpm.so.4. I was missing some of the libg++ stuff to start with too. I think it's one of the xpm4.7 packages (I seem to have the libc5 ones, even though I thought I'd got the glibc version of netscape)... > 4.

Sounds kind of scarey, for a newbie. Can anyone > help? there was a post earlier today from Frank Barknecht to me that was discussing it. the best approach would appear to be to recompile your kernel with the make-kpkg utility, and to apply all the relevant awe .deb packages too. I haven't tried that yet. Check his message for more info. there's also an awe mini howto that you should read, available from http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ you should get the isapnp stuff too (explained in howto). come back with more specific questions if you get stuck. if I'm successful (in the near future) I'll post a summary of what I did. -- Graham
