I installed slink using the CD that came with the New Riders book and seem to have a problem finding shared libraries.
When I try and run wordperfect I get - xwp: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' locate libXt.so.6 produces /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 I check permissions with ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6* and get lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 6 02:33 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 -> libXt.so.6.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290440 Feb 23 1999 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 I know the paths must be in ld.so.conf so I check with less /etc/ld.so.conf and get /usr/lib/tkstep /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat /etc/ld.so.conf (END) The paths are there - I have run ldconfig loads of times. The only way I can get the system to find the libraries is to add put paths in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH or to put a link in /lib or /usr/lib. I shouldn't need to if the path is in ld.so.conf should I?
