Hello! I have had big problems with two applications recently with this error message:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so: undefined symbol: atexit

Both Wine and XMMS give me this problem in one form or another. Though I don't think the default install creates this .so, it is easily createable by anyone by:

# cd /usr/X11R6/lib
# ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXxf86dga.so libXxf86dga.a
# /sbin/ldconfig -v (or just ldconfig)

This is important because some applications I like to use require libXxf86dga.so. I did this without any problems on Slackware with XFree86 4.2.0 that I compiled myself there. Any ideas? This is a showstopper for me in a few cases. Thanks!

Well, I tried copying the libXxf86dga.so from my working Slackware 8.0 install, and it didn't seem to work any better. Does anyone know where/what the atexit thing is all about? Thanks!

I did a bit of googleing, and I am thinking that it is a glibc problem. I will try stepping down to glibc-2.2.5-r2 and see what happens. I will keep this board posted (for future reference)!

Ok, it is a glibc problem. So, DO NOT UPDATE TO GLIBC 2.2.5-r3!! :)
