It seems to me that the problem is not a ldconfig problem, but an rpm problem. If I'm not mistaken, when rpm -i complains about a missing library, it's not because the library truly is missing or not, but rather that the library is not listed (correctly or incorrectly) in the rpm database. Applications & libraries installed from tarballs do not update the rpm database.
A first step, for you, might be to run `rpm --rebuild` to force a rebuild of the rpm database. A next step would be to reinstall the libpng libraries (whatever is the current version) -- it might be necessary to use --force. Finally, if all else fails, and you're sure that the proper libraries are in their proper places (rpm database, or no), go ahead & install `dvr` with the --nodeps option. cmr Keith Antoine wrote: > On Sunday 02 February 2003 14:25, Tim Wunder wrote: > >> Are any of them part of an RPM? >> $ rpm -qf /lib/libpng.so.3, etc... >> >> FWIW, RH8: >> $ locate libpng.so.3 >> /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.2 >> /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 >> $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 >> libpng-1.2.2-8 >> >> HTH, >> Tim > > Now that was an idea, and the return was:- > > CPE-203-45-132-177:/home/kantoine # rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpng.so* > libpng-devel-1.2.4-31 > compat-2002.8.15-19 > compat-2002.8.15-19 > compat-2002.8.15-19 > compat-2002.8.15-19 > libpng-1.2.4-31 > libpng-1.2.4-31 > CPE-203-45-132-177:/home/kantoine # rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 > libpng-1.2.4-31 > > So now to find rpms as it seems not to be seeing tarballs installed. > I am using Suse 8.1 so does anyone know how to call the configs in Suse > like it does when installing an rpm.
