1. mysterious shared library problem
I'm having a somewhat mysterious shared library problem. In particular, for
some odd reason, xterm and nxterm can't find any of the X libraries they need.
Other programs, such as xclock, have no problems, even though they require the
same library. Here's what ldd returns for xterm and xclock:
flapdragon: bin $ ldd xterm
libXaw.so.6 => not found
libXmu.so.6 => not found
libXt.so.6 => not found
libSM.so.6 => not found
libICE.so.6 => not found
libXext.so.6 => not found
libX11.so.6 => not found
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
flapdragon: bin $ ldd xclock
libXaw.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXaw.so.6
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXmu.so.6
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.6
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libSM.so.6
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libICE.so.6
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXext.so.6
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.6
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
To make matters weirder, xterm starts up just fine if run as root.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I've tried rerunning ldconfig,
to no avail. I'm running Redhat 4.2, with ld.so-1.7.14-5, XFree86-3.3.1-1,
XFree86-libs-3.3.1-1. This problem started suddenly. I'm not quite sure what
the cause was, but I was upgrading to new python and mysql rpms.
