This technical note describes typical problems encountered with Visual
Thought due to incorrectly specified command and load library paths.


Abort if /usr/lib missing from LD_LIBRARY_PATH
----------------------------------------------
On SunOS systems, if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes
/usr/openwin/lib, but not /usr/lib, the following error message will
occur when vthoughtx is executed:

   dl_open: stub interception failed.
   Abort.

This problem can be eliminated by placing both /usr/openwin/lib and
/usr/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.


Attachment failure if /usr/bin before /usr/openwin/bin in PATH
--------------------------------------------------------------
On SunOS systems, if /usr/bin precedes /usr/openwin/bin in the PATH
environment variable, the SunView version of cmdtool is executed
instead of the XView version when activating an attachment that runs
in a shell.  In this case, cmdtool exits with status=1.

This problem can be eliminated by placing /usr/openwin/bin before
/usr/bin in the PATH environment variable.
