[CLUE-Tech] newbie question about libgtk

[Charlie Oriez]

a number of routines, including but not limited to the harddrake-text 
routine in my boot, try to use  /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 which is a 
symbolic link to libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1, also in /usr/lib

I persist in getting command not found messages, and the programs 
which reference this are failing to run. 

I checked the obvious:

/usr/lib is in my $PATH

both the modules are shown as world executable and world readable.  

even when executing in a console with /usr/lib as my PWD, the exec 
still cant find trhe command to execute

when i do a  ls -lact libgtk-1.2* the names of both modules are 
blinking in red on the symbolic module line.  Methinks that is 
relevant, since that is unique to this module.

What am I seeing, and what is the fix?

provides a structured way to write spaghetti code.  --Paul Graham
