Re: library's hiding?

[Carl Greco <cgreco@peregrine.novia.net>]

Check that the libs actually exist, i.e., my potato (patched to
current release) has the following:

peregrine:/etc/init.d# ldconfig -nv /usr/X11R6/lib
ldconfig: version 1.9.11
/usr/X11R6/lib:
	libXaw3d.so.6 => libXaw3d.so.6.1
	libforms.so.0.88 => libforms.so.0.88
	libforms.so.0.89 => libforms.so.0.89
	libMrm.so.1 => libMrm.so.1.0.2
	libXtst.so.6 => libXtst.so.6.1
	libXt.so.6 => libXt.so.6.0
	libXp.so.6 => libXp.so.6.2
	libXmu.so.6 => libXmu.so.6.0
	libXi.so.6 => libXi.so.6.0
	libXext.so.6 => libXext.so.6.3
	libXaw.so.6 => libXaw.so.6.1
	libXIE.so.6 => libXIE.so.6.0
	libX11.so.6 => libX11.so.6.1
	libSM.so.6 => libSM.so.6.0
	libPEX5.so.6 => libPEX5.so.6.0
	libICE.so.6 => libICE.so.6.3
	libxview.so.3 => libxview.so.3.2.4
	libolgx.so.3 => libolgx.so.3.2.4
	libXm.so.1 => libXm.so.1.0.2
	libwraster.so.1 => libwraster.so.1.2.0
	libXpm.so.4 => libXpm.so.4.11

peregrine:/etc/init.d# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       293100 Feb 11 15:41 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
peregrine:/etc/init.d# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        44456 Feb 11 15:41 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3
peregrine:/etc/init.d# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       679148 Feb 11 15:41 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1

Also, make sure the links have full (executable) permissions, i.e., 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Feb 16 21:42 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.1
