* I don't subscribe to freebsd-ports, so this may be old news already. * I updated to 2.1-951104-SNAP and tried to install fvwm, which requires * xpm. * * Specifically, I got * * fvwm-1.24r.tgz * xpm-3.4f.tgz Did you do this manually, i.e., using pkg_add? Or did you do it from inside the installer? * But after installing and running fvwm, you get * * ld.so: fvwm: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.6" * * because xpm-3.4f.tgz installs libXpm.so.4.5 instead of libXpm.so.4.6... * Question: is there another older package of fvwm or a newer package * of xpm I should go find? Hmm. You are the second person (if I remember correctly) that complained fvwm not being able to find libXpm. I have no idea how this can happen. % hostname wcarchive.cdrom.com % pwd /archive/.3/FreeBSD/packages-2.1/graphics % tar tvzf xpm-3.4f.tgz -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 226 Oct 6 03:18 1995 +CONTENTS -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 48 Oct 6 03:18 1995 +COMMENT -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 711 Oct 6 03:18 1995 +DESC -rwxr-xr-x root/sys 20480 Oct 6 03:18 1995 bin/sxpm -rw-r--r-- root/sys 55956 Oct 6 03:18 1995 lib/libXpm.a -rw-r--r-- root/sys 56439 Oct 6 03:18 1995 lib/libXpm.so.4.6 <<< -r--r--r-- root/sys 14906 Oct 6 03:18 1995 include/X11/xpm.h -r--r--r-- root/sys 1859 Oct 6 03:18 1995 man/man1/sxpm.1.gz Jordan, do you have any idea? The one in "packages/" also had 4.6 in it, so that can't be the reason. The only thing I can think of is the user used "tar" instead of "pkg_add" and the new library didn't get registered into the ld.so cache.... Satoshi
