1. Red Hat: A.OUTs (ZMAGIC & QMAGIC) still not working right (status rpt)
I have Red Hat Picasso (ELF) running. I installed the A.OUT support.
However, ...
1) The default install does not install the sym link correctly,
linking /lib/libc.so.4 to /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libc.so.4
Therefore, after the initial installation, neither ZMAGICs nor
QMAGICs will run.
2) If I do the sym link mentioned above, then both ZMAGICs and
QMAGICs work.
3) Alternatively (i.e., if I remove the sym link), but do ldconfig,
then QMAGICs start to work, but still ZMAGICs don't. My
/etc/ld.so.conf file is shown below:
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
/usr/openwin/lib
Obviously, by creating the sym link, I have a workaround, but I am curious
as to what the grand explanation for all this is. Would getting a newer
version of ld.so help? My current version is ld.so.1.7.14, dated 2/25/96.
In particular, I'd like to know why ZMAGICs still don't work, after running
ldconfig. Note that after running ldconfig, I do "strings /etc/ld.so.cache"
and gets lots of references to the i486-linuxaout dir, so obviously it now
knows about those libs. I think those references were not there in the
original (base installation) copy of ld.so.cache.
