5.2.2 Activating spaceball or spacemouse

After the migration was finished a spaceball or spacemouse attached to the system was not working properly. We used the following command to activate the device:

/usr/lpp/X11/bin/sbinstall -a 1 -l ’<number_of_tty>’

5.2.3 Netscape cannot be launched

In particular cases the Netscape browser cannot be launched after the migration, and a message similar to the following is received:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/netscape/communicator/us/netscape_aix4 because of the following errors:

0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /usr/lib/libi18n.a (shr.o) because:

0509-136 Symbol __xwctomb (number 14) is not exported from dependent module /usr/netscape/communicator/lib510/libc_r.a

Netscape uses a different directory to load the libc.a library. You will need to do the following to make Netscape work:

1.cd usr/netscape/communicator/lib510

2.mv libc.a libc.a.old

3.cp /usr/lib/libc.a .

After these commands are run, Netscape will work properly.

5.2.4 Documentation cannot be launched

We had the AIX 4.3.3 documentation installed on our server. To migrate the documentation, we added the AIX 5L Version 5.1 documentation filesets into the lpp_source located on our
