I'm now encountering a similar problem with xemacs (installed from the 2.1.5 CD, as is everything else on my system). ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXm.so.2.0" The closest thing I can find to this on my system is libXmu.so.6.0. Tried symlinking it, but still no go. What to do??? -- Conrad Sabatier | Tired of the Microsoft monopoly? conrads@neosoft.com | Try FreeBSD! UNIX on a PC!
