- bootme$ ldd /usr/openwin/bin/xnews
- -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6
- -lsunwindow.0 => /usr/lib/libsunwindow.so.0.53
- -lpixrect.2 => /usr/lib/libpixrect.so.2.11
- -lXextent.0 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXextent.so.0.0
- -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0

- Based on that, do you think Open Windows will run on his machine? Hint:
-
- 1) "/usr/openwin/bin/xnews" is the X11/NeWS server - it's the
- only X11 server in Open Windows;
-
- 2) those lines indicate that it's dynamically-linked, and
- enumerates the shared libraries it requires;
-
- 3) SunOS 3.5 doesn't have shared libraries.
-
- Now, if he could get a binary distribution of X11 for his Sun-2, he
- might be in luck (he'd have to get the whole thing; the Open Windows
- clients won't work on his box, either, as they're also
- dynamically-linked - *and* were probably compiled for 68020's, to boot).
- Dunno if any such exist (Sun-3 binaries won't help).
