I've just applied a few patches from the SuSE site and now have problems starting applications under X (KDE).
xterm: error in loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The following were applied... nkitb.rpm kmulti.rpm tcpdump.rpm pop.rpm wuftpd.rpm alsa.rpm samba.rpm netscape.rpm acroread.rpm
A partial "strace" output from netscape follows. It's not looking in /usr/X11/lib for shared libraries.
I am in a similar situation.
I have just downloaded and installed some of the 6.4 updates and my xterm has stopped functioning. Being a newbie in this area what I'm about to say may be factually inacurate but I will try.
I have an application (Recital) which has a script to start it up. When I go through a virtual console it works OK but starting it from Konsole which then tries xterm it just starts xterm and the drops back to Konsole.
I have taken the script and deleted the options one at a time and it seems to be the '-e command arguments ' that fail. As that argument is identical for both starting up a virtual or xterm, I have rightly or wrong come to the conclusion xterm is broke.
What happens when you try to run xterm by itself from Konsole? Can you run any other non-KDE X applications? -- Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning Perth, Western Australia -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
