Hi,
I'm having trouble reinstalling Wordperfect8 on a Potato system.
It was running fine a couple of months ago after I installed libc5
and xlib6 but it is now complaining
/usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4'
When I try
~#locate libXpm.so.4
I get
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11
All this trouble started when I tried Progeny-- it worked alright
but I could not get the Xwindow to look the way it should. Now,
after reinstalling Potato and apt-get upgrading, Wordperfect8 can't
see a needed library file. After trying
~# ldd /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp
it gave
libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4004f000)
libXpm.so.4 => not found
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400f1000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x400fa000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401b8000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401c1000)
so, following the pattern, I tried
~# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 /lib/libXpm.so.4
which gave a segfault instead of a can't load message when I attempted
to run wordperfect8.
If any of you can help, I shall be most grateful.
TIA, Doug.
