HELP :-( !!!
I have just compiled and installed X11R4 on my IPC Network.
But when I try to execute xinit to test the setup, i get the
following error :
ld.so: libXmu.so.4: not found
after checking /usr/lib, the file does exist but as libXmu.so.4.0
What is causing this error????

[Just another FAQ] You just have to do a /usr/etc/ldconfig as root.

You got the big trouble! You have all libX*.a, libX*.os files in /usr/lib but you haven't convert to shared libraies yet. To convert them into shared libraries, type "ranlib filename". Then I think you have to recompiler the X11R4, no fun at all!

>You have all libX*.a, libX*.os files in /usr/lib but you haven't convert >to shared libraies yet. Well, you meant "libX*.so files"; the ".so" files *are* shared libraries, and he *did* have them. >To convert them into shared libraries, type "ranlib filename". auspex% ranlib /usr/lib/libc.so.1.3 not an archive: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.3 Try again. Running "ranlib" on a shared library produces only the above completely justified complaint from "ranlib"; "ranlib" only does things to archive, i.e. UNshared, libraries. It doesn't do anything to shared libraries, and isn't necessary to "convert" anything to a shared library.
