Error with "/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib/pa20_64/libXmu.a" ?

[Stuart Abramson_2]

One of our users is compiling the new VNC Server product.

He is getting this error message:



c++ -o vncviewer argsresources.o colour.o desktop.o dialogs.o ful

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (argsresources.o) wa.

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: /usr/contrib/X11R6/lib/pa20_64/libXmu.a: Not a valid library (.

*** Error exit code 1


and indeed, when you look at the library in question:

# cd /usr/contrib/X11R6/lib/pa20_64/

the file in question is an "archive file".

Is there a problem here? What is the problem?

Perhaps the rest of the files are 32-bit objects, so the linker does not want the 64-bit version of libXmu.a.

There is a 32-bit version in /usr/contrib/X11R6/lib/libXmu.a.
