Subject: Exceed and X window managers
I'm trying to run Exceed on a NT 3.51 PC to connect to a SunOS 4.1.3
machine.
Here's the problem:
/usr/openwin/bin/olvwm
ld.so: libolgx.so.3: not found
The above error message appears regardless whether ldd produces a
satisfactory message or not.
Executing an `ldd /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm` on one system produces:
hosta# ldd /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm
-lolgx.3 => not found
-lX11.4 => not found
-lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8
-ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0
hosta# ls -l /usr/openwin/lib/libolgx.so.3.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 57344 Sep 18 1991 /usr/openwin/lib/libolgx.so.3.1
Executing an `ldd /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm` on another system produces:
hostb# ldd /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm
-lolgx.3 => /usr/openwin/lib/libolgx.so.3.1
-lX11.4 => /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4.3
-lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.8
-ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0
hostb# ls -l /usr/openwin/lib/libolgx.so.3.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 57344 Sep 18 1991 /usr/openwin/lib/libolgx.so.3.1
hostb# ls -l /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 368640 Oct 12 1992 /usr/openwin/bin/olvwm*
I will summarize.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

SUMMARY:
Two replies suggested the LD_LIBRARY_PATH not being set, or set incorrectly.
Actually, that was part of the problem. The other half of the problem
is that Exceed was set to multiple windows mode. After running xconfig
(its configuration program) to set the X server to single window mode,
it brought up the openwindows environment.
Thanks to those who replied. Here are the original replies:
