For a detailed view of the posts which I have circulating please follow this link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/forums.cgi?group=linuxprinting.hp.general;article=6334 Installed hpoj (hp office jet printer driver), restarted Linux and now cannot start X server and many other gui applications. I am running RedHat 8.0 on 2.4.14-18 kernel (on Winbook Laptop). There is only one error message consistant with all applications with fail to start. When trying to run gnome-panel: gnome-panel: relocation error: /usr/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Set_Hint_Flags I have tried upgrading Xft libraries, deleting and reinstalling them. $ ldd -d /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x40025000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x4002b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4008e000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401b9000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401c7000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x402a5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402b3000) $ rpm -q Xft Xft-2.0-4 $ rpm -q freetype freetype-2.1.2-7 $ locate libXft #symbolic link to libXft.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 #symbolic link to libXft.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libXft.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libXft2.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.2 It appears there are two version (am I correct?) although I have not installed any from source or rpm other than the upgrade. I have also tried making links back to the libs in the /usr/X11R6/lib/ above to no avail. I am not sure why this problem would occur after installing printer drivers, or why printer drivers would relocate system dependant files as such. I have attempted to post to the site where I got the drivers, but it is maintained by Sourceforge which requires $ub$cription :( Please help, I have read many posts on this matter including Xfree86 documentation on fonts (none identical of course but very close) and have tried all but one "solution" which suggested a reisntall of X. It seemed abrasive to me and not much of a thoughful solution more than "if you blow up the world your are bound to get rid of that one thing you don't want". Is it as simple as making a symbolic link??? But to where? Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
