Bug Description

Platform: Ubuntu Breezy Badger x86 current 20050909

gv will not run: error message is "gv: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

ldd reveals that all other library dependencies resolve.

On this system, libXaw3d.so.6 is in /usr/X11R6/lib, and the most current version libXaw3d.so.7 is in /usr/lib. Perhaps gv can be rebuilt against the more current version? If it requires the older version, then it seems a bug against the distribution to get /usr/X11R6/lib back into the default library search path.

We believe that this bug is fixed with the current xaw3dg package.

gv needs libXaw3d.so.6, which is in package xaw3dg (with version 1.5+E-8ubuntu1 under /usr/lib/libXaw3d.so.6, and no longer under /usr/X11R6/lib), and gv depends on this.
