I sent this one to the list yesterday afternoon but got no replies so
I figured I'd try it again.  Searching the questions archive turns up
a few similar questions, but no solution.  I've also got some
updates..

Originally when I reinstalled WindowMaker, I only did a
-DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER to overwrite the old one.  Since then, I've
removed all the relevant WindowMaker stuff and reinstalled them from
scratch with the same problem.  Also, I addition to KDE, I can run
AfterStep (which I'm using right now) without problems.  This leads me
to believe it's some sort of problem related directly to WindowMaker,
but I can't figure out what.  Like I said, reinstalling didn't help.

Any ideas?  I really don't want to take the time to get used to/learn
another window manager..

Subject: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 invalid format

Anyone know what needs to be done to solve the message in the subject
line?  Here's what happened..

I upgraded from 2.2.8-RELEASE to 3.1-RELEASE a few days ago, and
updated WindowMaker to 0.51.0 (from 0.50.2) yesterday and everything
was fine.  Earlier today, I was working on some graphics with the GIMP
and it crashed and took X with it.  I had to reboot with the reset
button because my entire system froze.  Once it came back up, I ran
startx again to get back into WindowMaker and got the message in the
subject.  I got another /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 file from another 3.1
box I have access to and tried again.  Still didn't work.  Then I
tried reinstalling WindowMaker and configure couldn't find libPropList
(which it did find yesterday).  I installed the libPropList port
again, and this time WindowMaker installed without problems.  I
rebooted, and tried startx again.. same thing.

Has anyone seen this?  I can run KDE without problems, but I want
to know what the problem is (as much for curiousity sake as to get
WindowMaker working again).  I don't especially like KDE, but right
now I don't have much choice because WindowMaker won't start.

Any help would be much appreciated.
