  • Ticket #6435 – Description

    initial v1  
    11After installing SUNWvboxguest version 3.1.6 on an OpenSolaris build 134 guest the gnome-appearance-properties execitable fails as follows:
    2 
     2{{{
    33indy$ gnome-appearance-properties
    44ld.so.1: gnome-appearance-properties: fatal: libXfixes.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory
     
    66Killed
    77indy$
    8 
     8}}}
    99I was able to get this to run by adding two symbolic links to the system; however, I don't consider this a proper fix.  The links were:
    10 
     10{{{
    1111indy# cd /usr/lib
    1212indy# ln -s libXfixes.so.1 libXfixes.so.3
    1313indy# ln -s libXext.so.0 libXext.so.6
    14 
     14}}}
    1515Apparently the libraries SUNWvboxguest puts onto the system requires libXfixes.so.3 and libXext.so.6 but these libraries aren't on the system. I faked it by linking in older versions of these libraries and got the application to run; however, the libraries have updated versions for a reason and it isn't clear what the side effects of linking in an older version might be. For this reason, the links aren't a proper fix.
