- I'm having two problems. The first is a problem with Elm ans Smail3 from
- the Mailpak-1.2 archive. Every time I try to run either of them, I
- get the message
- /lib/libc.2.2.2
- (including the leading tab).
- It was suggested that this was due to having a different set of libs
- from those with which the binaries were compiled; however, dat ain't
- the case here. I compiled them and installed them as per the Readme
- files included, and they promptly failed with the same error. (Elm
- used to give me errors, but after adding casts and two #ifndefs, it
- compiled sans peeps. :-)
- I've asked before, and I haven't seen any answers....
-
- Also, shutdown won't work for me anymore. It gives the warning, and just
- sits there forever. (It also happens with reboot and halt, on my HD, and when
- I boot with the .96 root disk...) I tried doing an fsck -a on my Linux
- partitions and rebooting, but that didn't help. This just started after
- I installed X (1.1 from banjo, circa 17 July). X froze my system once
- to the point that I had to a hard reset, so I did the fsck -a, and everything
- seemed OK (everything else worked fine, and I got X working--ah, the
- wonders of an STB PowerGraph Ergo 1024 :-)
- But...shutdown stopped working. Can someone enlighten me as to why
- it suddenly broke? (Hey, I'm learning! :-)
- The problems are (probably) not related; the mail problems predate
- my shutdown problems.

- Oh, yeah, the system.
