We had a `setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib/` in one of our startup files. Interestingly, this did not matter at all with 2.2.x and 3.1-RELEASE and 3.2-RELEASE, probably a side effect of the new Linux mode? Thanks a lot for your help! BTW, I noticed that http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/linuxemu.html still has lots of information on 2.1-STABLE. Wouldn't it be appropriate to remove that? Do you think it's the case to mention LD_LIBRARY_PATH problems on that page? If so, are you going to submit an update or should I try to come up with something? ;-) Thanks again, Gerald -- Gerald "Jerry" pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/~pfeifer/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
