Description Ilia Lobsanov 2003-02-27 08:01:46 UTC 
i get this when starting any xpde related program...

/opt/xpde/bin/XPwm: relocation error: /opt/xpde/bin/XPwm: undefined symbol:
initPAnsiStrings

are you running prelink?
Comment 2 Ilia Lobsanov 2003-02-27 21:08:07 UTC 
no prelink
Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-03 06:57:42 UTC 
cretin, ideas?
Comment 4 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-03 07:37:04 UTC 
Well my guess is that the executable was linked against a different version of some library which provided the initPAnsiStrings symbol.

Now I get:

saj@saj saj $ ldd /opt/xpde/bin/XPwm
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40028000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40108000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40158000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4015b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

And I cannot see any of those well respected libraries changing there interfaces.

But it turns out that is was badly linked, try
saj@saj bin $ cd /opt/xpde/bin
saj@saj bin $ ./XPwm

and it should run (did for me). Strange but true ...
