Thanks to all who responded.
My original query:
I'm trying to install Recital on an IPC running SunOS4.1.1Rev.B.
The following code in the install program causes an error:
echo -n "Rehashing font databases..."
$OPENWINHOME/bin/xset fp rehash
The error message is:
Rehashing font databases ld.so: libX11.so.4 not found
Note: libX11.so.4.3 does exist in /usr/openwin/lib
I have added the following lines to root's .login and still get the libX11.so.4
not found error:
setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib
NOTE: we have run into ld.so related errors where libraries do exit before.
--------------------------------------
The following solution was offered by Ian MacPhedran...it worked!!
are you actually logging in as root or manually
running the .login (i.e. source .login) before installing the product? If
not, the environment variables would not get set.
I would not trust what you have done, personally. I would manually
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and OPENWINHOME, and try to reinstall things. If
that does not work, use a symbolic link to place libX11.so.4.3 in /usr/lib;
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4.3 .
ldconfig
and then try again. Remove the link after you're done.
---------------------------------------
I think the ldconfig step was the key to solving my problem!
