Hi All,

By installing opera 7.11 on Red Hat 9, I got the error message
Failed Dependencies
libXm.so.2 is needed by opera-7.11-20030515.1

I searched the Web including LinuxQuestions. If I understand right, I need to copy libXm.so.2 to /lib or /usr/lib an then run ldconfig. But this did not help.
When I try ldconfig -p, the libXm.so.2 is in the list. But I get the same error message...
Do I do anything wrong?

Additionally, I can use ldconfig only if I'm logged on on the computer via ssh or telnet. If I try to launch it directly in Terminal, the "bash" says it don't know this command.

Thank you.

Try going through Redhat's installer package programs and find it. If it isn't there go to rpmfind.net and find it there. You may need other files.

Thank you! I installed an openmotif package and opera is working now.

Maybe anybody could help me with the second problem - bash?

And the bash problem is?

I described the bash problem in my first message - I cannot execute some commands,
e.g. ldconfig, when I'm working in Terminal directly on the machine. If I log on via telnet or ssh,
it does work.

Well, ldconfig is located in /sbin which is probably only in root's path. I'm guessing that you are ssh'ing as a regular user but you are root in the terminal. If you su while ssh'ing into the machine then you should be able to execute ldconfig.

I'm sorry I don't understand what You mean.
I log on as root both in local Terminal and via ssh.
Here is what I get in Terminal:

[root@pc1 root]# pwd
/root
[root@pc1 root]# ldconfig
bash: ldconfig: command not found
[root@pc1 root]#

And via ssh:

[root@pc1 root]# pwd
/root
[root@pc1 root]# ldconfig
[root@pc1 root]#

what is the output of "echo $PATH" when you log in?

When you log in through the terminal what does:

echo $PATH

return?

In local Terminal:
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/user/bin

Ssh:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

So if I get the root rights with su command, this does not update the $PATH?

I am a bit baffled myself as to why the path is correct via ssh but not through the terminal. Maybe a way to fix this issue is to make sure whenever you use the su command you do it like this:

su -

This way when you become root you will retain all the properties that root should have.

Thank you! it works
