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.

-----Original Message-----
I just cold-installed Solaris 2.7 server 3/99 version, and loaded
ghostscript first and then ghostview. When I run ghostview I get the
follwoing message;
ld.so.1: ./ghostview: fatal: libXaw.so.6.1: open failed: No such file or
directory

Where do I get libXaw.so.6.1 from? Or how do I fix the problem?
        pkginfo:
        utility GNUghoscr GNU ghostscript 5.10 SPARC 32bit Solaris
7
        utility GNUghostv GNUghostview 1.5 SPARC 32bit Solaris 7

Also in 2.7, I get these frequent annoying messages:
Apr 26 12:45:28 fmri2 sendmail[2189]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): dbm map
"Alias0": u
nsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases

Where this is coming from and how do I stop this?
