Re: getting error when I try to load wl from 20190623 package

I am using a text onsole, virtual terminal, not using X at all.

I  cannot give you the status file, but I may be able to give  you the
config options, I am using gentoo which compiles everything.

./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc

I hope this helps.

you spend it?
