This is the closest I could think of under the circumstances. I have upgraded my lenny system (with "testing" in apt sources.list) lately (last week). I had not done so for several weeks.7.0.3-7 was uploaded mid December, and was in testing shortly after that.Since then Sun's starsuite8 (aka staroffice8 based on OpenOffice 2) fails to start. It crashes on startup. I used starsuite8 for a long time on this PC and so was puzzled at the problem. I investigated and found that startsuite8t will start if I temporarily hide /usr/lib/libGL.so and friends by renaming them.are you sure your libGL comes from mesa, and not nvidia or fglrx?
I am using ATI radeon chipset (actually, this PC is based on motherboard that uses AMD 780G onboard graphics.) In the distant past, I may have installed fglrx. This is the libGL files under /usr/lib: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2009-01-05 11:29 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-02-20 01:07 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 556108 2009-01-12 09:53 libGL.so.1.2 Do they look like they came from fglrx? It would be mighty handy if there is consolidated tool to figure out the origin of these X library files. (Now I am beginning to realize why it was so difficult to figure out which package provides libGL.*. I tried by searching Debian packages, but was not so sure. From what you suggest, it seems to me that there are non-Debian packages (or deb packages that are prepared by a third party) that provides the libraries in question. Hmm...)
Cheers, Julien
Thank you for taking the time to look into the matter. I will upload any necessary files such as complete Xorg.0.log, etc. or send it by e-mail before public scrutiny is required. Sincerely CI
