linda:/usr1/home/olly$ ls -al /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libXt*
ls: /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libXt*: No such file or directory

linda:/usr1/home/olly$ dpkg -S libXt.so
xlib6g-dev: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so
xlib6g: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
xlib6g: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
xlib6: /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6.0

linda:/usr1/home/olly$ grep libXt.so ~/Contents*
usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so                                       x11/xlib6g-dev
usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6                                     x11/xlib6g
usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0                                   x11/xlib6g

oldlibs/xlib6-altdev
usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6.0                            oldlibs/xlib6

So it looks as if it's because I'm missing the package xlib6-altdev...

I installed xlib6-altdev and tried again.  Now I get the same message
on a different library:
  ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6, may conflict
  with libc.so.5

There is a libSM.so.6 in /usr/lib/libc5-compat, and it is pointed to by a
symbolic link in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libSM.so, but this is
consistently ignored by the compiler. I haven't specified /usr/X11R6/lib
anywhere, but it's still going there!

Why???  What is making the linker decide that the libc5 library won't do?
