[SunHELP] OpenWin and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Brian Hechinger]

i'm trying to put into my OpenWin menu to ssh to another machine and run an
X application.  however, i keep getting this error:

Executing ssh-askpass to query the password...
ld.so.1: ssh-askpass: fatal: libncurses.so.4: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
No passphrase supplied.  Exiting.

the entry in .openwin-menu-programs was:

"gnapster"	exec ssh arthur /usr/X11R6/bin/gnapster

and i got that error, so i changed it to:

"gnapster"      exec $HOME/bin/gnapster

which is:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ssh arthur /usr/X11R6/bin/gnapster

and it STILL gives me that error.

what am i doing wrong? why can't i figure this out?  it's starting to really
annoy me.

thanks,
