3/26    FreeBSD question: all of a sudden (maybe the sysadmin did some kind
        of upgrade?) emacs gives me.
        /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXaw3d.so.7" not found
        but I see /usr/local/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7.  Any idea how to fix?
        Actually it is not just an emacs problem.  Lots of commands (like
        cvsup) fail with the same error!
        \_ Can't you ask that sysadmin?
           \_ reboot. seriously. --fleePSB
              \_ The correct answer was probably "run ldconfig as root"
              \_ THAT WORKED!
                  \_ I tried ldconfig and that did not fix the problem.
                     Although I didnt try logging in and out after that.
                     \- i'd do the reboot to restart running processes.--psb
              \_ A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning
                 the power off and on.  Knight, seeing what the student was
                 doing spoke sternly: "You can not fix a machine by just
                 power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going
                 wrong."  Knight turned the machine off and on.  The machine
                 worked.
