problems with upgrade from RH9 to FC2

[James Mckenzie]

Gary:

You might want to look for either *new or *orig in the /etc directory.  I know that I had to restore an existing configuration to get gnome to work correctly.

Also, after moving some of the library files (*.so) to a different directory than /usr/lib, I'm getting about the same errors as you are.  Check to see if you are getting an error on startup about rhgb not being able to find libatk-1.0.so.0.  That is the error I receive.  When gnome starts up, I get a series of errors stating that applets cannot be started.  I can run most programs, including mozilla.  I cannot run the rhn-applet which checks for possible upgrades to my system.  Oh, I did build the symbol link to the file that libatk-1.0.so.0 points to in /usr/lib.  That did not solve the problem.  It is possible that I inadvertantly deleted the file that is needed.  And I did add the new directory to ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig -f /etc/ld.so.conf.

Here is the result of "locate rpmnew":
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.rpmnew
/etc/X11/fs/config.rpmnew
/etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam.rpmnew
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf.rpmnew
/etc/mail/submit.cf.rpmnew
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmnew
/etc/apt/sources.list.rpmnew
/etc/ld.so.conf.rpmnew
/etc/localtime.rpmnew
/etc/printcap.rpmnew
/etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew

I don't think that these have anything to do with gnome.  

I don't recall manually modifing any gnome config files

Thanks,
