Hi Ken

However, I just googled, and maple advocates will no doubt argue that (1) is the answer: this url seems to be the same problem. (watch for
wrapping, on the version of pine that I'm using, anything might happen!)

Hmm. I need to improve my googling skills 8o(.

I've just done the following: (and apologies for dodgy line wraping)

$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 && ldd /usr/bin/awk
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so I think we've found the problem. Thanks Ken 8o)

 That has a link to a possible solution at
http://www.maplesoft.com/support/faqs/Maple8/Installation/10.aspx

I've tried editing the file that it suggests (with vim), but because it seems to be a mixture of shell script and binary, it gets corrupted whenever I save it. (What I mean is, when I view the file with less or vim, the top part is all ascii characters, but the bottom part is all unreadable.) When I run the file again after saving whatever changes I make it dies while extracting itself.

 BTW, isn't this a blfs-support issue ? :-)

Well, I guess it is now. Originally I thought I'd messed up something with the linker itself, which would (I think?) have been an LFS issue.

Thanks for you help again - I really appreciate your friendliness.

Dave
