Problem installing X11 libraries [Solved]

Post by jeffw_00 » 2017/12/16 02:00:32

HI - thanks for all the help today. Almost done. I have one older app that I can't get to run on my new Centos-7 system. (it ran fine on my 64b Centos-5 system). It looks like it needs either a 32b, or an older version, of X-11 libraries. I've made some very slow progress by installing (in order)

libXpm-3.5.12-1.el7.i686.rpm
XFree86-libs-4.3-5mdk.i586.rpm
compat-expat1-1.95.8-16.el7.nux.i686.rpm
zlib-1.2.7-17.el7.i686.rpm
ncurses-libs-5.9-13.20130511.el7.i686.rpm

but now it wants
libncurses.so.5

and I'm sure there's more after that - and I don't think this is the right way to do it. Does the above give you a clue about what major library I should be installing? I've tried libX11.i686 but that's not sufficient.

Thanks Very Much!

ok - this approach was a BAD IDEA.
