I ran into a strange problem today when running x under the hurd.
I noticed that I was not able to load some programs under X as a user. At first I thought that this was a user vs root permissions problem because I hadn't seen this under the root login. But I found out by ldd'ing some of the programs and verifying that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH was correctly configured to point to /X11R6/lib for the user account that ldd _failed_ to find libX11.so even with the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I had been running screen previously but was trying to identify the reason (assuming configuration problems) for some lock ups when using X. I innocently tried running screen and starting X and was able to execute these programs (rxvt for example.) then running ldd successfully reported the libraries. This was reproducible. No screen, no libX11. with screen, -> libX11. reported found. -- Hope springs eternal! /^\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
