Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hardinfo
This installation is a 32 bits version of Hardy Heron Test 2. I start the "hardinfo" utility and try to run the CPU ZLib benchmark on it. But it fails with an error message: "Cannot load ZLib. /usr/lib/libz.so not found". See picture: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardinfo-error-2.png I had already installed the "zlib1g" package so something else had to be wrong. The symbolic link to "libz.so" is missing. $ ls -l /usr/lib/libz.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-12-22 21:24 /usr/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81240 2007-11-15 13:08 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3 This error can be fixed by installing the development package "zlib1g- dev" . It creates the missing sym link to libz.so. Hardinfo should not be dependent on the 2zlib1g-dev development package. ---------- A question: I was told that the actual program line (in the source) is libz = g_module_open("/usr/lib/libz.so", G_MODULE_BIND_LAZY); Why does it use a fixed library path (/usr/lib/)? Maybe the path is different on other Linux-distributions (eg. /lib/ or /usr/local/lib/)? ---------- Study also this related bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hardinfo/+bug/178267 ---------- ** Affects: hardinfo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardinfo: Hardinfo cannot run CPU Zlib benchmark.
