Details ?
it is Mandriva 2008
it is Mandriva 2008 x64
the software is called SAS "XMM-Newton Science Analysis Software" it requires ds9 Grace Perl X11 Qt
first it was libXaw.so.7 then after installing X11R6 it is libt1.so.5
the error massage is "error while loading shared libraries: libt1.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
what make me think that it is a hardware issue that it work fine in all my Fellow's HP laptops
no there is no hardware
no there is no hardware problem, you simply did not install all the dependencies required by your SAS software.
normally when you install software you're relying on your distros ackage manager, but since xmm-newton is not packaged for mandriva you had to install it manually and now you have to figure out dependencies on your own.
the file libt1.so.5 is provided by the package libt1lib5 , you can install it by running this command as root
if you face a similar problem in the future and want to find out which package provides the file mentioned in the error message use the urpmf command to search through your package database
