Dear Colleagues,
A month ago I posted a request to the ccp4bb regarding
the malfunction of Xfit under Suse Linux 10.3.
I got a lot of suggestions.
At least I want to share my experience.
1.) I did exactly that what Paul suggested (see below) installing
fedora libX11s
wget
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libX11/1.0.3/8.fc7/i386/libX11-1.\
0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
wget
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libX11/1.0.3/8.fc7/i386/libX11-de\
vel-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
rpm -U --oldpackage --force libX11-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
libX11-devel-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
> copy the library files from /usr/lib to the xtalview lib:
> cp /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 /usr/local/XtalView/lib/ibmpclinux2/
>
> mv to xtalview lib directory and make sym links:
> ln -s libX11.so.6.2.0 libX11.so
> ln -s libX11.so.6.2.0 libX11.so.6
2.) Of course, then the X11 system for Suse does not work,
and you get stuck with boot level 2 or so in the text-
mode.
3.) in the text mode, I started yast and installed all xorg-X11 libraries
which I could find (search X11) from the Suse 10.3 installation DVD.
4.) Problem solved.
XtalView suite works fine.
Linux works fine.
5.) I still do not know what exactly the problem was, although I
care less.
Thanks to everyone who responded (especially Paul).
Greetings
Marius
