Bug#306416: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#306416: libxcursor1: undefined symbol: XRenderCreateAnimCursor)

[Martin Šlouf <mar@centrum.cz>]

hi,

i noticed that, but on my debian unstable it reported unresolved referencies, i
solved this about a 6 month ago by special order of lib directories in
'/etc/ld.so.conf' file according to some maillist posting which stated st like
that:

- - - - my /etc/ld.so.conf - - - -

# this needs to be here just because of some libtool problems, though it is
# a default directory for library searches
# I encoutered problems with eclipse and libXrenderCreateAnimCursor C function
# from libxrender1 deb package, seems like the link from
# /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la -> /lib/libXrender.la is not working well
# if libXrender is 1st found here, everythink is ok, dynamic loader is not
# confused, in any other case, undefined symbols are reported
/usr/lib

# let this be the second (see comment above)
/usr/X11R6/lib

/usr/lib/3dnow/atlas
/usr/lib/atlas/3dnow
/usr/lib/3dnow
/usr/local/lib

# because of firebird 1.5 -- it is an setuid prog,
# in which case $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored
#/usr/local/gcc323/lib
# kernel 2.6
#/usr/local/linux-2.6-utils/lib

- - - -

anyway, thanks :)
