Mmmm... I think my point,
Actually my problem was that I naively thought that the version
supplied on the NYT website is what you are using. It appears you are
using this:
http://www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download.htm
To run that, I had to install:
lesstif
libXp
libXpm
compat-libstdc++-296
[sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8
[sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: symbol lookup error: ./acrossl: undefined symbol: __eh_pc
That appears more googlable, but at this point I have to admit I lost
interest...
... I prefer crosswords on Paper :o)
