I understand.

When I ask for a list of the files in /usr/lib, the entry for
"libgphoto2_port.so.0.5.1" is shown as follows:
 
"-rwxr-xr-x    1 root root    55839 Sep  8 17:18
libgphoto2_port.so.0.5.1".

I got the less precise 54.5 KB figure from the results of the "Search
for Files" search.

I have such a file. It's in /usr/lib/gphoto2_port/0.5.1. The entry for
it reads:

"-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 29012 Sep  8 17:18 libgphoto2_port_usb.so".

In my first post to this list, I mentioned that I had sought help from
the gphoto2 list, but had got no assistance. My last post to that list
had asked about how to create a record of the output when I turned
debugging on, so that I could forward it to that list.

Certainly, there was much output to the screen. I had thought that one
could redirect that output to a file, but when I tried that, the only
thing in the file was the last bit of the screen output. I couldn't get
the entire output into a file.

Here's the output of "rpm -qi gphoto2":

Summary     : Software for accessing digital cameras.
Description :
The gPhoto2 project is a universal, free application and library
framework that lets you download images from several different digital
camera models, including the newer models with USB connections. Note
that for some older camera models you must use the old "gphoto"
package.  For USB mass storage models, you must use the driver in the
kernel.

This package contains the library that digital camera applications can
use and the command-line utility gphoto2.

Other (GUI) frontends are available separately."

I don't have version 2.1.5 installed. I uninstalled it using yum before
installing v 2.1.6.

I have in the past downloaded rpms via rpm.pbone.net. My (hazy)
recollection is that I couldn't find an rpm of v 2.1.6 of gphoto2 for
Fedora Core 3, but I could find an src.rpm for it and so I downloaded
and installed it. There is no separate package for libgphoto2; it's
included in the gphoto2 package.
