I am running Solaris 8 and when you issue an lp command, it returns with the following:
ld.so.1:lp:fatal:libxfn.so.2pen failed: No such file or directory killed.

 

[jamisar]

did you rm /lib (a link to /usr/lib ) ??
issue: file /lib vox clamantis in deserto.

I did not rm any link.What shuold be I looking for to correct this situation.

Hi,

Sounds strange. When I issue ldd /usr/bin/lp on my Solaris 8 box, it does'nt seem to be dynamically linked with libxfn.so.2. What kind of document do you try to print ? Need a filter program ?

Did you play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

 

[jamisar]

which cmd are you using, cmd-mode, batch-mode, progr-mode
on your sys is libxfn.so.2 not | no more existent
offen they are links
check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH vox clamantis in deserto.

 

[jamisar]

which lp are you calling ?? vox clamantis in deserto.

Hi md1750,

please check if you have SUNWfns installed on your machine (or for 64bit version: SUNWfnsx) or check if you have the libraries in your error message in /usr/lib.

That might be the problem.
