Hi

I am new to afterstep.  I downloaded 1.8.11 (sorry no
beta) and followed instructions to compile and
install, and all went well.  Then I downloaded
astools-2003.2.19-25.i586.rpm from rpmfind.net but
when I try to install it tells me that I dont have
(failed dependency) libpthread.so.0(GLIBC 2.3.2). I
downloaded glibc 2.3.2 and compiled, and then added
the directory with the libpthread.so to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But when I ran RPM again it made the
same complaint. Since the appropriate shared object is
on my system, I did an rpm install with the --nodeps
options, but the software wont start.

Has anyone encountered anything like this before when
dealing with afterstep?

Thank you in advance

mike
