cant run xemacs!

[unggy]

when i try to run the program it gives me an error

xemacs: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

help?

Can't run Xemacs? Sounds more like a solution than a problem to me....

But seriously though, you might want to do a some research on the missing/ill-behaving lib file, or try a re-install if the lib is present.

try vi

[phlipant]

it is possible that, your copy of /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3.0.1 is not properly soft linked to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 in which case you can type

ldconfig

otherwise, you need a copy of libXm.so.3.0.1

if you send me a private message, i will sent you the file

good luck

i've just checked and i have got those files.
where do u type 'Idconfig' ? i tried it in the terminal but nothing

im using RH8
any ideas?

[sk606]

probably in sbin
to find it type:

locate ldconfig

[raz0rblade]

try running just emacs

[unggy]

ive been taught usin xemacs at uni and i wanna use the same at home

nope locate didn't find anything about Idconfig
any other ideas?

[raz0rblade]

emacs is the same thing as xemacs in rh8.

[phlipant]

ldconfig is in /sbin

try

/sbin/ldconfig

[phlipant]

ldconfig is in /sbin

try it verbose, ldconfig is not very talky.

/sbin/ldconfig -v

look to see in the result if /usr/X11R6/lib is searched and your file is there

[unggy]

i've got it sorted now, the problem was in my .bashrc_profile, had to add /sbin/ line

thnks for the help
