Hello dudes.

Guess who is with a brand new problem. lol . ok let me explain my problem. I using slackware as my server. I did a full install except kde international thingy, and games. My server pc specs:-

cpu:amd althon
mem:256mb+
hd1-4gb
hd2-1gb
slackware 10.0

Some of the programs like xchat and some other programs are not working. They are not even loading. But i did the same full install in my vmware virtual machine, but all the programs work properly. Any thoughts guys. I am going to upgrade the harddisk. So i am going install everything again. But i want all the programs to work properly. I installed slackware 10 using the iso images in vmware. And i used cd s to install it in my server. Thanks in advance. cheers

First diagnostics step:

ldd `which <name-of-broken-program>`
on both "machines", and comparing the output...

What do u mean by " 'which <name-of-broken program>' ? program's name or the program's binary location.
Thanks for ur effort.

ldd requires a fully qualified path ...

If you know it of the top of your head just use that,
e.g., ldd /path/to/my/borked/file
if you don't
which <name> will give you the location.
ldd `which <name>` will do exactly that, return the
fully qualified path to the executable and run ldd
against that one ...

All of the programs installed in my vmware is working. But not in my server. I run that command in vmware and it says

ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for '/usr/share/applications/xchat.desktop'
not a dynamic executable

I haven't tried in my server pc. I return back with the results.

That's not the name of an executable, that's something used
from a GUI? In that case have a look at your ~/.xsession-errors.

Sorry guys. i was busy. It was the problem of installation. CD Drive was not good. Thanks.
