Solaris

Hi all,

I was building x11vnc on Solaris 10 SPARC and needed libjpeg, so I built and installed that in the right path /usr/sfw/lib. Now I can't get the dtgreet screen on my local network using XDMCP. I strongly suspect the library installation broke something (conflict with libjpeg in /lib or /usr/lib), as it definitely broke firefox (confirmed by moving the libjpegs created in /usr/sfw/lib).

How do I back out a library change? Uninstall one altogether? Thanks in advance

-drl

You could set an LD_LIBRARY_PATH including the location of the new libjpeg in an alternative location in wrapper scipts calling anything to do with vnc?
Or else set an LD_LIBRARY_PATH for XDMCP ensuring that /lib and /usr/lib are referred to but /opt/sfw/lib is not?

Running:

Code:

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:usr/lib
# ldd <binary>

Would prove if the binary concerned has all the libraries available to it that it requires.

Broke Xsun - which breaks CDE login - I had Xvfb running which relies on Xsun even in -dev vfb mode - remote cde-login will not work unless the X server can start or does not try to start. Move around some path orders and all is fine. BTW gdm2-login is vastly inferior (played with that some) to cde-login, of course - like all GNOME garbage - anyway in UNIX there is always a way!
