Title: Debian: no libXxf86vm.so.1
Post by: lathspell on May 09, 2004, 06:12:17 pm

Hello

$ ./pssetup -verbose
Warning: Failed to load `xwin\'; reason(s):
DLERROR (xwin): libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently Debian Linux only ships the .a version of those libraries as, according to a mailing list entry I found, the libraries are too unstable yet and not distributed by XFree86 as shared libraries at the moment....

Could you link your binaries statically against this library?

bye,

You can create the shared library by yourself: go to /usr/X11R6/lib, then  do the following as root:

ld --whole-archive -share -o libXxf86vm.so.1 libXxf86vm.a
ln -s libXxf86vm.so.1 libXxf86vm.so
ldconfig
