Recategorizing to correct Component.

Comment 2 Alan Coopersmith 2008-07-22 00:08:44 UTC

Need to rebuild with the new libXaw that's in Indiana.

Comment 3 Danek Duvall 2008-07-30 18:17:09 UTC

We have the same problem with nethack.  See

    6731179 nethack has broken dependencies in OSOL, but not Nevada

Comment 4 Alan Coopersmith 2008-07-30 18:40:10 UTC

Unfortunately, the fix for nethack isn't so simple.   For components in the
X consolidation, we can link against a Consolidation Private copy of
libXaw.so.8
while we untangle the libXaw.so mess - nethack and other things in other 
consolidations will have to wait until that mess is worked out though and we
can publish a new public version.

Comment 5 Alan Coopersmith 2008-09-22 18:01:44 UTC

xvidtune is fixed in nv_97, so I'm marking this bug as fixed.
I've filed bug 3544 for the issue of libXaw.so.5 binary compatibility 
for other binaries like nethack.
