Greetings,

yes, I have searched the mail archive, and yes there were many hits on
this, but none actually provided me with the actual pointer (that I
could see) to this.

First, some info:

bash-2.03$                  

And finally (the error itself)...

bash-2.03$ netrek
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.10"
bash-2.03$

[end of information]

So, as you can see, it's for a "critical" application ;') "Would you
believe...?" Ok, it's a game.

I've checked via /stand/sysinstall that xpm is installed, and it is.
I've searched the mail archives, as stated above, and while there were a
number of 'hits', these all failed to actually solve the question of
just where to get hold of libXpm.so.4.10

I found an 'rpm' that may have the module in it, but I'm not sure (a) if
it has the source code, and (b) if it's any different from the
libXpm.so.4.10 in the /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/ directory. (The
'may' is because I appear not to have the rpm set up correctly, so I
can't get a listing of the files inside it. Is the rpm format some
"standard" file format (e.g. tar/gzip, compress, or zip)?

Anyway, I installed the Netrek package from the cd
(netrek-COW-3.00p0.tgz), so perhaps I should harass the maintainer ;')

Any help appreciated, thanks.
