Is the library really there, or is there just a dangling symbolic
link?  On my slink system /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 is a symlink to
libXpm.so.4.10.  If the latter file is not there, you need to install
the xpm4g package if the Wingz3 is a libc6 program.  If Wingz3 is a
libc5 program, you need to install the xpm4.7 package from the oldlibs
section.  Check this out with `ldd Wingz3'.

HTH,
Eric

Slink upgrade and /usr/local problems locating libs!

1999-03-30 Thread Person, Roderick
Hey guys,

Since I have upgraded to slink 
I have noticed that when I unzip certain tars in /usr/local the binaries
seem to have trouble finding the required libs. For example, Wingz3 can't
find libXpm.so.4 although it is in /usr/X11R6/lib. Wingz3 worked with hamm.
Has there been some kind of change in Slink that would cause this?
