Get the same package but compiled for non-glibc distributions (almost anything except debian2.0++ and redhat5.0++). -alexm No... I run xisp occasionally on S.u.S.E. 5.3 and Solaris. Neither of which is glibc. Why do you think his error is connected with glibc when it clearly says 'libforms.so.0.86 is needed by xisp-2.2p2-2.'? Am I missing something?

The earlier versions of xisp seemed to have some problems with finding the correct version of xforms. I installed the right one before and tried time after time with rpm paks and could not get an install. I then grabbed the latest source and compiled after upgrading to xforms 88 here with no issues. I should point out on SuSE 5.3 that I compiled the latest version of xisp with no xforms issues. I have not installed bxforms from the sources. The make install process on bxforms does not place forms.h in its correct place either or where xisp wants to find it. When I watched the compilation process on SuSE 5.1 I could see where things were falling apart. After copying forms.h where it wanted, xisp was there. For some reason, I have had terrible luck with the rpm packages from RedHat or wherever for xisp. I also wrote the developer about this and he encouraged me to try the non-rpm sources. Just my experiences. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
