I'm hoping that, in the end, I do not need to modify symlinks to shared libraries and all programs run without any modification. I hope I don't confuse anyone in this reply, as I've combined both of Florian's e-mail's into this single one for digestion. > > Something that I missed previously: Didn't you say this is a Lenny > > system?

Appears you're correct: host:/etc/ld.so.conf.d# ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2008-10-09 11:12 /usr/X11R6/bin -> ../bin > > Please explain in more detail how you have set this up, does > > the program run in a Sarge chroot? I do have the ia32-libs package installed, but the commercial app is 64-bit, so it's not running in chroot.

Can you please expand on this and possibly provide an example? Thanks so much for your assistance. :-) acuSim does have me sourcing a config file: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/acusim/LINUX64/V1.7e/script/.acusim-sh ##*************************************************************************** ## Copyright (c) 1994-2005 ACUSIM Software, Inc. ## All rights reserved. ## This source code is confidential and may not be disclosed. ##*************************************************************************** #============================================================================ # # ".acusim-sh": ACUSIM running command for sh and bash # # This script set the following environment variables # # ACUSIM_HOME - home directory # ACUSIM_VERSION - version # ACUSIM_MACHINE - current machine # ACUSIM_CNF_FILES - configuration files # # ACUSIM_BASE_VERSION - base version # ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE - base current machine # # Add to the following environment variables # # P_SCHEMA - Parasolid schema # PV_INTERFACE_PATH - Paraview interface path # ACUSIM_PARAVIEW_LIB - Paraview library # Visual3_CP - Visual3 color directory # PYTHONPATH - python path # LD_LIBRARY_PATH - search path # ENSIGHT8_READER - ensight path # # Add directories to # # PATH - unix path # # Original: Farzin Shakib (Feburary 01) #============================================================================ #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set the top directories #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACUSIM_HOME=/usr/local/bin/acusim ACUSIM_VERSION=V1.7e ACUSIM_BASE_VERSION=latest #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Setup the perl bin directory #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- perldir=/usr/bin #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Get the machine ID #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- case `uname` in IRIX) ACUSIM_MACHINE=SGI ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=SGI ;; IRIX64) ACUSIM_MACHINE=SGI64 ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=SGI ;; HP-UX) ACUSIM_MACHINE=HP ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=HP ; if [ `uname -m` = "ia64" ] ; then ACUSIM_MACHINE=HPIPF ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=HP fi ;; AIX) ACUSIM_MACHINE=IBM ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=IBM ;; Linux) ACUSIM_MACHINE=LINUX ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=LINUX ; if [ `uname -m` = "x86_64" ] ; then ACUSIM_MACHINE=LINUX64 ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=LINUX fi ; if [ `uname -m` = "ia64" ] ; then ACUSIM_MACHINE=LINUXIPF ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=LINUX fi ;; SunOS) ACUSIM_MACHINE=SUN ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=SUN ; if [ `uname -m` = "sun4H" ] ; then ACUSIM_MACHINE=HAL ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=SUN fi ;; OSF1) if [ `uname -m` = "alpha" ] ; then ACUSIM_MACHINE=ALPHA ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=ALPHA fi ;; *) ACUSIM_MACHINE=_undefined ; ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE=_undefined ; echo "ACUSIM_MACHINE not found" ;; esac #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set the machine dependent environment variables #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACUSIM_CNF_FILES="./Acusim.cnf:~/Acusim.cnf" if [ "$ACUSIM_MACHINE" != "_undefined" ] ; then dir=$ACUSIM_HOME/$ACUSIM_MACHINE/$ACUSIM_VERSION ACUSIM_CNF_FILES="$ACUSIM_CNF_FILES:$ACUSIM_HOME/Acusim.cnf" ACUSIM_CNF_FILES="$ACUSIM_CNF_FILES:$dir/script/Acusim.cnf" #uncomment to get the extra tools #PATH="$PATH:$dir/tools" PATH="$perldir:$PATH" PATH="$dir/base/bin:$PATH" PATH=".:$dir/bin:$PATH" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$dir/bin" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$dir/base/lib" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$dir/ODB_6.7/lib" ENSIGHT8_READER="$ENSIGHT8_READER:$dir/script" PYTHONPATH="$dir/script:$PYTHONPATH" PERL5OPT="-I$dir/script $PERL5OPT" P_SCHEMA="$dir/script/schema" PV_INTERFACE_PATH="$dir/pv/packages" if [ ${ACUSIM_MACHINE} = HP -o ${ACUSIM_MACHINE} = HPIPF ] ; then ACUSIM_PARAVIEW_LIB=$dir/pv/bin/libvtkAcuSolveReader.sl else ACUSIM_PARAVIEW_LIB=$dir/pv/bin/libvtkAcuSolveReader.so fi PATH="$PATH:$dir/pv/bin" Visual3_CP="$dir/script" fi #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Export #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- export ACUSIM_HOME export ACUSIM_MACHINE export ACUSIM_VERSION export ACUSIM_BASE_MACHINE export ACUSIM_BASE_VERSION export ACUSIM_CNF_FILES export PV_INTERFACE_PATH export ACUSIM_PARAVIEW_LIB export P_SCHEMA export LD_LIBRARY_PATH export ENSIGHT8_READER export PATH export PERL5OPT export PYTHONPATH export Visual3_CP - Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
