System name:		contents-vnder-pressvre.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.2.3 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	Run macsyma (default version, 420).

What's wrong:
	macsyma loses badly on Solaris 2.6 because the wrapper script sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to a directory containing a copy of libc.so.
libc.so must match the kernel (even kernel patches can require libc changes)
and is not suitable for installation in a locker.

ld.so.1: uname: fatal: relocation error: file uname: symbol textdomain: referenced symbol not found
Killed
ld.so.1: /mit/macsyma_v420/distrib/sun4x_56/lmgr: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1: symbol _so_socket: referenced symbol not found
Killed

What should have happened:
	Not that.  If it doesn't work on Solaris 2.6 there should not be
a sun4x_56 link in the locker.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
