Re: slink breaks
Thank you, that did fix my problem, although I had no
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale so I linked against
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale.xlib6-old and netscape seems to work again.
However, it didn't solve my ICQ problem, which appears to be along the
same lines. When I try and load ICQ, I get this message:
current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale
modifiers are not supported, using defaultSIGSEGV 11* segmentation
violation
And then it goes on to spew a bunch of meaningless garbage at me. It says
it is dumping the thread. Any ideas?
