Programs in the series XView (OpenLook)

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

You use the Windowmanager OLVWM/OLWM as well as other applications from the series xv ("XView"). Since SuSE Linux 6.0 they no longer appear to be working.

Reason:

The packages in the series xview contain very old software, which, for the most part, are no longer maintained by their autors.

At the request of our customers, we have taken the trouble to modify this software, which was written for X11R4 or X11R5, so that it works.

The change from libc5 to glibc2 has resulted in the above mentioned programs being no longer fully functional and in some cases they no longer work at all.

Solution:

The above described problems can be fixed by installing the updated package, which can be found under:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse60/xv1
