Hello all,
after using v0.88.1 without problems, i tried upgrading to v0.89 to use
the new object helpers. Within the older build (Jun 99) i found object helpers
missing so i enjoyed hearing, that v0.89 was finally finish. After waiting some
more time for the Linux version to be updated i found, that i can't get the final
build now available for Linux with libc5 to work. I had to stick with the libc5
version because i'm using RedHat 5.2 which uses glibc2.0 and xforms v0.89 is not
available for Linux linked against glibc2.0. I also tried the libc5 version on
RedHat 6.0 (glibc2.1) without success (btw: v0.89 linked against glibc2.1 works).
Her is the problem in details:
1. i installed libforms.so.0.89 in /usr/local/lib
jan@Nummer1:/home/jan > ls -l /usr/local/lib/libforms.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jan jan 31 Oct 2 12:47 /usr/local/lib/libforms.so -> /usr/local/lib/libforms.so.0.89*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jan jan 829592 Oct 2 12:47 /usr/local/lib/libforms.so.0.89*
2. after compiling the demo, i tried running it without success: problem:
jan@Nummer1:/home/jan/tmp/xforms/DEMOS > ldd demo
libforms.so.0.89 => not found
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40004000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400a7000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400c1000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
3. why is libforms not found? There it is:
jan@Nummer1:/home/jan/tmp/xforms/DEMOS > /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libforms.so.0.89
libforms.so.0.89 (ELF-libc5) => /usr/local/lib/libforms.so.0.89
4. why is it not used?
jan@Nummer1:/usr/local/lib > ldd libforms.so.0.89
libc.so.5 => not found
5. is libc.so.5 missing?
jan@Nummer1:/usr/local/lib > /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libc.so.5
libc.so.5 (ELF-libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5
6. is libc.so.5 unreadable or can't it be executed?
jan@Nummer1:/usr/local/lib > ll /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 2 13:25 /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.3.12*
jan@Nummer1:/usr/local/lib > ll /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5.3.12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 699832 Nov 5 1998 /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5.3.12*
7. what is the problem?
The above was taken on a RedHat-Linux 5.2 box. The linker version is:
jan@Nummer1:/usr/local/lib > rpm -qa | grep ld
ld.so-1.9.5-8
ldconfig-1.9.5-8
Would anybody be so kind, dropping me a note on how to fix that? Thanks!
Cheers Jan
