[SUMMARY] libXaw.so.6.1 and Sol2.7 questions

Thanks to the following people for their quick responses;

Q#1 SUMMARY:

libXaw is the Athena Widget library; it's on any GNU archive.

My fault, I forgot about the README file on the pkg. One of the response

said "read the README on the pkg site it'll explain how to link those

missing X libraries to ones you do have. Or you can install X11R6.4 which

will have that library in it, after you update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH."

There were many responses mentioning how to create such links; Create a

symlink from libXaw.so.5 to libXaw.so.6.1 in the /usr/openwin/lib directory.

One response also said that I should complain about the GNUghostv package.

The response noted "They should be linked against the standard X11 libraries

Sun ships, not some non-standard X distribution."

This is what I did to get ghostview working:

I made symbolic link from /usr/openwin/lib 5 version to /usr/lib 6 version,

for each link I ran ghostview, which then prompted me for another ver6

library. After total of 7 links, ghostview came up. Obviously the best

method is to install X11R6.4.

Q#2 SUMMARY:

All reponses said permission problem with sendmail directories. Since our

department policy was to disable sendmail on UNIX machines, the problem went

away when I just did that.
