Somthing with the libs Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have attempted to install the following X window manager ports: fvwm2 fvwm95 qvwm windowmaker All of these were from the ports collection in FreeBSD 3.0.. I installed FreeBSD by ftp'ing the 3.0 release from ftp5.freebsd.org, and then burning a CD. Every attempt that I make at runing 'make' for any of these ports results in an ftp of the tgz archive from a remote server, and then the attempt to build xpm-3.4k. The error occurs in the building of xpm-3.4k.. It says /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a: could not read symbols: Achive has no index; run ranlib to add one So I ran ranlib.. and no sucsess.. same error. I finnaly gave up and retrieved the package .tgz file from FTP and tried pkg_add. That worked, except when I tried to execute any of the above mentioned window-managers, I get the following error: from wmaker: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libPropList.so.0.7" from qvwm: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.10" There is somthing seriously fishey here! I have the libXpm.so.4.10 library in /usr/X11R6/lib.. So that can't be missing (unless it doesn't know where to look?) And the libPropList.so.0.7 doesn't exist. I am not sure where to obtain that, but I would think that that would be installed by the package, wouldn't it? If you have any idea what is up, please help me.. I am currently running twm and olvwm just fine, but I would like to use the wmaker, or somthing similar, and I would like to see what the others are like... -Adam Kunen (FreeBSD fan) adam-kunen@worldnet.att.net Thanks in advance..
