[Macpartners] Help needed: Shared Library Error in 10.2.6

[Chris Bobonich]

I've had what seems to be the same problem and I can't open Microsoft 
Word.  Did you ever find a solution?

Hi All,

I am running OS X 10.2.6 on a pismo laptop (500 MHz with 256MB Ram) and
have come across an annoying and seemingly obscure problem. After I
updated to 10.2.6 (from 10.2), I began to receive an error when
launching certain applications. The general content of the error is
"APPLICATION LAUNCH FAILURE: The application "some application" could
not be launched because of a shared library error: '<random some
application name><more random stuff about some
application><CarbonLib><>'" This error arises when I try to launch
Netscape, Internet Explorer, and Stuffit Expander (and possibly other
programs). I can, however, run Safari and Mozilla 1.3.1 without
incident.

To compound the problem, I also receive another error when trying to
start classic under OS X: "Resource Update Error: An error was
encountered while attempting to update your system folder with
Classic-specific resources." This problem also seems to have developed
concomitantly with the upgrade to 10.2.6.

Someone suggested that the problem related to improper permissions, so
I repaired the permissions (via the terminal & sudo repairpermissions
/), but the error still persists.

After having searched google and the Apple knowledge base numerous
times, I have failed to find any information relevant to this error. I
hope that someone else has come across it and knows a solution, as I
loathe the idea of reloading the OS. I appreciate any help,
suggestions, or comforting words you can offer.

Thanks!

All the Best,
Bryant C. Vernon
