Post23 Apr 2008 1:37   Cadence problem with RHEL 5.1

Hi

I managed to install Cadence on RHEL 5.1

However, when I run icfb i get the message:

cannot find libXp.so.6

I was told elsewhere that this file is found in the package Xfree86. I downloaded and ran the package. However, when I reboot it seems that X-windows gets damaged. I cannot see anything (just a blank screen) and cannot login to Linux

Anybody faced such a problem?

How can I know the package version?

I am rather new to this. I didn't find the package in the source CD

Hi,

libXp.so.6 is a file found in Redhat Enterprise Linux 4. What I did was to copy the file and paste it in Redhat Enterprise Linux 5. I think the path was /usr/X11R6/lib. Oh yeah, you'll also have to place the path in your cshrc file.

That's it?

Just copy the file in its place?

What exactly did you add to the cshrc?

If you install a newer or older RPM, your system could be damaged.
If you copy an older run time library to your system, you may need to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

So simply get the libXp.so.6 file from RHEL 4 and add it in the supposed path then add

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6

in the cshrc?

If you put libXp.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib, add fowllowing in ~/.cshrc:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib
