[pts/1][14:01][me@here][~] ln -s /usr/local/bin/Eterm Eterm
success - Eterm pops up on my screen
So I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and this seems to be consistent with installing additional application. I used Eterm as an example so you can see what I'm doing or what I'm doing wrong.
Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated or a reference to another post here that I didn't look for that has a possible solution.
Thanks in advance.

Rep:
file /usr/local/bin/Eterm
/usr/local/bin/Eterm: ELF 64bit LSB executable, x86_64, version 1 (SYSV) dynamically linked (user shared libs), not stripped
N.B.: I "su -c 'removepkg Eterm.0.9'" the old Eterm.tgz, as that was compiled from linuxpackages.org not from the slamd64 repository. so now 'file /usr/bin/Eterm' returns /usr/bin/Eterm: cannot open '/usr/bin/Eterm/' (no such file or directory). Problem still persists with 'usr/local/bin' version.
With slackware 13.0 you would know if it was multilib because you would have actively had to make it that way. I'm not sure if that's true with slamd64, though.
