How do I remove old libs? > > cd /usr/src > make check-old-libs > make delete-old-libs I deleted old libs using 'make delete-old-libs' from /usr/src, but that has led to many other problems. It seems many libraries currently in use were deleted in the process. I'm having to rebuild/reinstall many of my applications to get them working again. And gdm doesn't work anymore. Initially X was complaining about missing libraries, but after reinstalling a few packages, I now have gdm going into an endless loop in which it X tries to startup, displays the mouse pointer, and then re-initializes itself. Starting X by itself gets me similar behaviour: the screen blanks out, and then nothing happens. There is nothing in /var/log/messages or on the console to help debug the problem. No man page for gdm. Any ideas on what should be done? thanks.
