Hi folks, Under earlier distributions, I've always been able to replace the Xaw shared libs with the equivalent Xaw3d libs. This is a quick way of prettying up some older X applications (xterm, xcalc, xfig, etc.) For some reason, this doesn't seem to work under FC2. Normally, I'd just do this: mv libXaw.so.7.0 /some/where/safe/ cp -f libXaw3d.so.7.0 libXaw.so.7.0 ldconfig -v and, voila!, xterm gets a 3-d scroll bar. Under FC2 though, xterm complains that it can't find libXaw.so.7. It turns out that ldconfig is indeed failing to create the symbolic link from libXaw.so.7 to libXaw.so.7.0. Creating the link by hand doesn't solve the problem, though. Typing 'ldd /usr/bin/xterm' still shows libXaw.so.7 as missing. At first I thought it might be a problem with prelinking, so I did a 'prelink -u /usr/bin/xterm'. That didn't seem to make any difference. Has anybody successfully replaced Xaw with Xaw3d in this manner under FC2?
