This has reared its head recently whereby dependecy libs are not being found by a program that is being installed.
The libraries do exist on the system and should be in the PATH, so why is it that they are not being found. This is not limitted to any particular lib, however some are found, it seems inconsistent. Ldconfig being called sometimes is a waste of time: ld.so.conf has these entries in: /usr/X11R6/lib /opt/kde/lib /opt/kde2/lib /opt/kde3/lib /usr/lib/qt2/lib /usr/lib/qt3/lib/ /opt/volution/lib /usr/lib/ /usr/local/lib/ /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /opt/kde/bin For instance I have tried installed the rpm both it and a src rpm which do not fine the following libaviplay-0.7.so.0 libesd.so.0 libpng.so.2 libSDL-1.2.so.0 If I do a locate on the system it comes back with : /usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.3 /usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.6 /usr/local/lib/libaviplay.la /usr/local/lib/libaviplay.so /usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.7 /usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.8 /lib/libpng.a /lib/libpng.so /lib/libpng.so.2 /lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.8 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0.5.3 /usr/lib/libSDL.so /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.4 /usr/lib/libSDL.a /usr/lib/libSDLmain.a /lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0 /lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.4 /lib/libSDL.a /lib/libSDL.so /lib/libSDLmain.a /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.8 /usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0 /usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.8 /lib/libesd.so.0 /lib/libesd.so.0.2.8 /lib/libesddsp.so.0 /lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.8 Most seem to occur in 2 seperate areas, but /lib should be in the PATH and they should be found. This is occuring with Office beta install from a tarball, its also occurs as I said with src rpms and as dependencies with rpms. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
