crontab errors

[marvin51796]

trying to do a crontab -e and i am getting this error?

$crontab -e
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so'.
crontab: can't create your crontab file in the crontab directory.

its only for a specific user, works fine for other people..root..other people allowed in cron.allow....

any help would be appreciated.

What editor does this user have set?

echo $EDITOR

If it is set to something like 'vim', which is not a standard part of HP-UX, then the likely problem is that you are missing the library that is required by vim.

Set the editor for this user to 'vi'

export EDITOR=vi

and have them try the 'crontab -e' command again.  I bet it will work.

this was due to a special editor EPIC made us load not being loaded.

Sorry for wasting time but thanks..
