I have a problem with my dynamic libraries. Some programs like netscape vs. 3,
downloades as binary refuse to start, giving the messages libXt.so.6 not
found. rpm reports failed dependencies when I try to install a program.
However, these libraries are present on my system, and work correctly: xterm
uses them also and works fine.

Does anybody know what the problem is and how I can solve it?

Greetings,

Martijn

Perhaps netscape is a libc5 program and your system uses libc6 (or
vice versa). What does "ldd /path/to/netscape" say?

(To run libc5 programs linked against libblah.so, you need a libc5 version
of libblah.so. The libc6 version will not do.)

No they require the libc6 libraries.
