Re: No such file or directory

The glibc solution seems to be on the right track. Unfortunately (as
is so often the case) unlocking one door has revealed yet another
locked door. In the README, there is a line that I am to type in
presumably to indicate the location of the libraries (I tried their
automated approach, and it failed):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path_to_lib_files:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

upon issuing this command two things happened. 1) The office setup
script started to run (good), but being a presumed x application,
could not since XWindows wasn't loaded. 2) startx will, after entering
the above line, no longer execute. I thought this whole thing a bit
odd, though, as in the instructions, it is quite explicit that the
setup executable is executed from the command line. To a DOS/Windows
guy, this seems odd because you just can't run a windows-app from dos.

    Any ideas? Again, TIA!
