The RPM for tclx-8.4.0-5.fc6 seems to me to be broken.
The RPM delivers /usr/lib/tclx8.4/
which contains a bunch of .tcl files, and also libtclx8.4.so
It runs ldconfig after install, but this won't find the .so file.
Not sure what it is you want to do but does installing the tclx-devel
package help.
Hi Steve,
No, adding the -devel doesn't help.
I was compiling up a package which uses tclx (so I have the -devel installed
anyway). The binary that gets spat out at the end won't load because it can't
find libtclx8.4.so
I would expect a well made RPM that delivers such a library to make it
findable. The choices I can think of are to put it (or a link) in
/usr/lib(64)/ or, if there is some good reason to put it in a sub-directory,
to put an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ to help ldconfig find it.
Since the RPM explicitly runs ldconfig, it suggests to me that the author
expected it to get found.
