That still makes the current behaviour of xlib6 a bug (ie loading into
one directory but searching another).  Being (as yet) unfamiliar with the bug 
tracking system, I have no idea if it's been reported to the maintainer.
Guess I should go look when I get a tuit or two...

PS Are your direct replies to me bouncing or aren't you cc-ing me? (no big

Sorry, all the libc5 _development_ packages in hamm that have libc6
versions use this directory.  The runtime shared libs go into
/usr/lib/libc5-compat.  This was a design error, btw, but it's too
late to change.

Thanks for the tip: will change that right now.

Then someone (me ?) should log a bug against xlib6 cause it doesn't.  It
loads everything into /usr/lib/libc5-compat.  First I'd seen of 
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1 was when the xlib6 libraries started using it
*at run-time*.

Yes, and I held down the shift key too long when typing XKey.  So do:

cd /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11
for i in XErrorDB XKeysymDB locale app-defaults ; do
  ln -s ../../../X11R6/lib/X11/$i $i
done

The next version of xlib6g will fix this.

Yipes!  That's very wrong, and you don't want to link through the X11
dir, as at least one package was (incorrectly) using that.

Safest is:
cd /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11
for i in XErrorDB XKEYsymDB locale ; do
  ln -s ../../../$i $i
done

All the libc5 packages in hamm that have libc6 versions use this
directory.

This is related to the slew of messages regarding netscape et al not working.
xvidtune is looking in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 for the app-defaults directory
and not finding it (probably cause /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 doesn't exist).  This
only happens with the latest xlib6g (read unstable) so, as has been said
before, you should subscribe to debian-devel :)

My fix was:

ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/i486-linuxlibc1

I don't know if the use of /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 was intentional and haven't 
filed a bug on it, however the only package *I* see that includes
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1 is lesstif (the libc5 comaptibile relation to lesstifg)

1997-09-30 Thread Paul Miller
Anyone know what the problem is here?  when I run xvidtune I get 'Please
install this program before running.' .. I installed the xbase package..
is it in the xcontrib?  if so, is there a xproc which does not depend on
that elf-x11lib?? package?
