Hello. Below is a ltter I sent to the XFree86 team, and they said that I should contact you. To preface the material below, I saw that ``xman'' on 2.1.5-RELEASE expects version 6.1 of the X libs, while only 6.0 comes with the XFree86 3.1.2S. >From: David Dawes <dawes@rf900.physics.usyd.edu.au> >To: jxh@cs.wustl.edu (James C Hu) >Cc: XFree86@xfree86.org >Subject: Re: 3.1.2S libs older than expected >Date: Sat, 17 Aug 1996 09:26:00 +1000 (EST) >>I installed XFree86 3.1.2S from the FreeBSD sysinstall program. >>My OS is FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE. >> >>Recently, I attempted to run xman, and it reported that it expected >>newer versions of the shared libraries: > >>ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6.0: minor version 0 older >>than expected 1, using it anyway >>ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0: minor version 0 older >>than expected 1, using it anyway >>ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.0: minor version 0 older >>than expected 1, using it anyway >> >>Now, the binary executes fine, but I was wondering why the >>distribution includes libraries which are older than what the >>executables were compiled against? >You'll need to check with the FreeBSD people about this. 3.1.2S is >based on X11R6, and the correct minor version for these libraries in >that version is 6.0. 3.1.2E (a beta release) is based on X11R6.1, and >it uses the 6.1 minor version for those libraries.
