xlib6g and emacs (and others)

[Erv Walter <edwalter@iname.com>]

I dont know exactly why this is happening, so I don't know which
package to file a bug report with.  I was testing out the new xlib6g
package and ran into trouble (almost all xwindows programs started
core dumping).

Here's the problem.  With the new xlib6 (the one with libc5-compat
stuff)  things are fine and ldd /usr/bin/emacs reports the following:

        libXaw.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000d000)
        libXmu.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6 (0x40062000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x40074000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x400b6000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x400bf000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x400d4000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x400df000)
        libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x4017d000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401b9000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x401c2000)

As soon as I install xlib6g, emacs core dumps and ldd reports this:

        libXaw.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000d000)
        libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40045000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40057000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4009f000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400a8000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400bd000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400c9000)
        libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x4016d000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401a9000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x401b2000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4026e000)
        ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4030c000)


Now, I don't know if emacs (and 90% of other executables) is broken,
or if there is a problem with xlib6g or if ld.so is not working.

In anycase.  Something is wrong.  Note, however, that some programs
work fine.  xterm works fine.  ldd reports it is linked with the
libc5-compat libs even with xlib6g installed
