Re: [aclug-L] Midnight Commander?

[j m wagle <jmwagle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all responders:

Clint: like you said, there are other 'libtcl's namely:

/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libtcl.so.3
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libtcl.so.3.1
/usr/lib/libtcl.so
/usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so
/usr/lib/libtclx.so
/usr/lib/libtclx8.0.3.a
/usr/lib/libtclx8.0.3.so

I have installed the tkmc version 4.1.35-2
I would like to use a nicer version of 'mc', the tkpasswd version of
passwd works nicely and the console version of mc lacks
something....

I didn't have much luck with either of the 'path' commands you
suggested (remember i'm a newbie).

I run bash, how can I tell which library path I use?  Where could
the 'library path statements' be? In /etc/ (I did a grep) I found
only PATH for /usr/bin.

thanks for your help.

mike wagle, wichita.
