You raise an interesting point, but my running ldd /usr/bin/sawfish
suggests it does not need pex5 nor xie.
The odd thing is, as I mentioned before, is that I can create a new
user and start X for it and proceed without difficulty, but a reboot
kills that user's ability to start X (to load the pex5 and xie
modules).
If I run:
# insmod /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so: ELF file
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so not a relocatable object
Do you or any lurker happen to know what it means to say an object is
not relocatable. For example, does it mean an application stub can't
construct the module at the stub for its own use?
Further, in my error log it says:
(II) LoadModule: "pex5"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so: undefined symbol:
PexExtensionInitPtr
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so
(II) UnloadModule: "pex5"
(EE) Failed to load module "pex5" (loader failed, -1073743256)
I've a vague sense that dlopn seeks to load pex5, but encoungers an
"undefined symbol," PexExtensionInitPtr.
Can anyone tell what this PrxExtensionInitPtr is? Does it refer to a
dependent library that fails to be accesses because that library is
either missing, is not in the linker list, is a wrong version or has
the wrong permissions?
