libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file

[mjrice]

I compile a short Icon program and have a linking problem. I already installed glibc.686, which fixed an earlier libX11.so.2 problem. Now I have yet another problem with libX11.so.6. I tried a couple of thing (see below). What can I do to fix this roadblock?

You missed the i

yum install libX11.i686

You forgot the 'i'

yum install libX11.i686

By the way, is your program a 32bits or 64bits?

Thanks, all. Dumb.

The Icon language for Linux seems to be 32-bit: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/v950/

So the code produced is probably 32-bit.
