Thanks for the help before with the Perl and libc issue. I seemed to kick off an interesting topic :-) I am still learning about the HURD and am having to "unlearn what I have learned" from Linux and not take things like ldconfig for granted :-) From what I gather from the discussion that followed all binaries should know in which paths to look automatically without having to query a hints file?
I resolved most dependancy issues by avoiding the use of dpkg directly and going through apt-get. I have installed xterm and other relevant libraries however the xterm binary is looking for libXaw.so.7 which despite happily residing in (/usr)/X11R6/lib doesnt get seen. Is there an deb-src equivalent I can stick in my apt sources files so I can try and poke around the src myself?
