Hello, I was in the process of getting my system into a good configuration to install my sound card. In the process of doing this, I switched from the hamm distribution to the slink. Everything seemed to work ok during the dselect thing, but when I finished, my wordperfect 8 nolonger functioned. The error message was can'tload library libXt.so.6. I used locate which had its database from before the change and I found that I had that file (and a bunch of other ones) in the /usr/lib/libc5-compat directory. The libXt.so.6 file was no longer there.
Well, in my infinate wisdom, :) I just used dselect to remove libc5 with the thought of reiinstalling it to get the file back. Well, It erase several more packages then I bargined for (none to critical). I tried to re-install the libc5 stuff and the scripts finished without any errors. But the libc5-compat directory is not completely empty! What package do I need to load to get the libc5 based libraries working again? So far, the only casulity I have seen is WP8, but I'll bet I will find others as time goes by. Thank, Doug Thistlethwaite
