I have all the required libraries for gs in BL3 /usr/X11R6/lib including 
libXt.so.6 (from Steven's x-libs.tgz package, which I notice has larger 
and probably newer versions of the libraries than I am using, but mine 
also work - SW3.5 instead of 4.0?)

I copied over the gs 8.50 that I compiled for BL2 and ldd says it has 
libXt.so.6 (and SM and ICE and Xext which I had already for icewm and 
opera).

gs:  error while loading shared libraries:  libXt.so.6:  cannot open 
shared object file:  No such file or directory.

I bet this is because I compiled gs dynamically against the X libraries of 
BL2 (glibc not libc5).  So I would need BL2 to print recent pdf files 
directly with gs, because the SW4.0 gs does not do gs 1.5.  Or use 
pdftopbm from xpdf 3.0 and pbmtolj.

I will use the SW4.0 gs instead in BL3.
Easier than compiling gs against libc5.  It took me a month or more with 
help for BL2.


---------------

I am using BL3 with kernel 2.4.31 and there is a kernel bug which is 
preventing this Best Data 56K modem from staying connected after dialing. 
There is also a patch (adding a few lines to the code for ppp - I presume 
I then recompile the ppp modules with make modules.)

David, could you look into this and perhaps also patch the modules for 
your 2.4.31 kernels?  How do I add a patch the proper way (without a text 
editor)?

"Couldn't release PPP unit.  Invalid argument."

Someone else stayed connected for 3.5 minutes.   There were bug reports in 
many languages and for kernels 2.4 and 2.6.

pppd (static against uclibc, thanks to David Moberg) works perfectly in 
BL2, booted directly into it or chrooted from BL3.  Same kernel and 
modules (slhc, ppp_generic, ppp_async, for 2.4.31).  The bug occurs every 
time I dial in BL3.  What might be different in BL3 that is causing the 
problem?

I don't know if it affects other modems.
