Yeah. Is that file in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout? That's where it's looking for the aout shared lib, not an ELF lib. What to do depends on some things. Is the one in /usr/X11R6/lib the aout or ELF? If the ones that should be in the aout dir are there, are they properly included inthe ldconfig for aouts? I've gone through this with a few 2.2.8 (aout) to 3.4 (ELF) upgrades. -- Crist J.
