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.. --- Forwarded message from Jim Mock --- Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 17:05:29 +1100 From: Jim Mock To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 invalid format X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4i 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. --- End forwarded message --- Thanks, -- Jim Mock System Administrator jim@corp.au.triax.com ,-._|\ FreeBSD work: Triax Internet Services http://www.triax.com/ / \ The personal: http://www.triax.com/~jim/ \_,--._/ Power To The FreeBSD 'zine http://www.freebsdzine.org/ v Serve!
