lib files missing when compiled in fedora 9

[send4jerry]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install a cross-compiler environment. I have just installed FC9. Earlier i was working with FC4 where this package was installed. My problem is when i try to install, it is saying file(libgtk-1.2.So.0) not found. I guess when the O.S was changed from FC4 to FC9 the lib files also got changed.

How can i solve this ??
Assuming if i am able to install those missing files wouldn't it affect the FC9??
What is common method of installing the files?? Does one has to download the source code and compile it ???

Thanks in Advance,

Jerry.

In this case, you're simply missing package gtk+, so:
yum install gtk+

V

P.S. Probably a good idea to also:
yum groupinstall "Development"

Hi,
Thanks a lot Hlingler for the reply. I did that, but got new messages saying libgmodule-1.2.so.0 does not exist!!!! . Isnt the gtk installation sufficient????????

Also tried , yum groupinstall "Development".. But got message as

Warning: Group Development does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

Is this the correct way to install all the packages??

Thanks,
Jerry.

Obviously not.
Install:
yum install glib-1.2.10-29.fc9 glib-devel-1.2.10-29.fc9

OOPS! My bad - try:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum groupinstall "Development Libraries"

You'll probably need most of that stuff anyway....

Yes, it's the easy way to "blanket" install a whole group/suite of stuff that you're probably going to need (most of the group, anyway).

Hlingler thanks for the fast reply,
I installed all the packages through group install. . But i am still getting the error ,
"error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file".

An intense search of the libraries revealed the presenence of libgmodule-1.2.so.0 and libgmodule-1.2.so.0.0.10.

Why is the "no file error " , eventhough the file exists???


Thanks,
Jerry.

Umm... what compiler are you trying to use to cross-compile? I think you need cmake, not gcc/g++....

Post some more details of what you're trying to do - I'm not real good at this stuff, and maybe someone else will see something I don't.

hi Hlingler,
This is for an embedded processor.
One interesting thing i noticed is "libgmodule-1.2.so.0" is in "/usr/lib64" , not in "/usr/lib". ???????? Won't it work if the file is installed in /usr/lib/ ?????????????

Thanks,
Jerry.

[Hlingler]

Oops! I thought I already asked about the architecture, but I missed that!

No, that won't work. You need both x86 and x86_64 flavors (and don't even consider moving the stuff around...). Just install the other architecture:
yum install glib.x86_64 gtk+.x86_64 (or whatever else is missing/needed).

Or conversely:
yum install glib.i386 gtk+.i386 ... etc.

Thanks for the reply. That worked. Though i got a new gtk warning ,
libgnomebreakpad.so , No such file or directory.
How can i install libgnomebreakpad.so in /usr/lib(its there in /usr/lib64!!! )??
Also can you suggest any link/site where the files/packages to be installed are mentioned when one gets "No such file or directory" error message is received?? So that i can use it next time...

Thanks,
Jerry.

To find stuff in general (try the advanced queries to sort for Fedora and 9):
rpm.pbone.net
rpmfind.net
rpmseek.com

OR:
yum provides [...] (insert packagename, filename, or virtual feature)

OR (since you already have one arch. copy of libgnomebreakpad.so):
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libgnomebreakpad.so

will give the packagename, so then you know to go after the other arch. of that package.

Note that warnings are usually not fatal, but I don't like them if they can be fixed.

I'll let you handle it from here....

hi,
Thanks for that gr8 info. .
I installed it. But the same error persists.
Now the status of my system is,
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so
/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so

Why is it that it is still saying "no such file found"?????????
In my system if i give ldconfig, it says command not found!!!!


Thanks,
Jerry.

[Hlingler]

Hm. Try updating the 'mlocate' database first:
[sudo OR su -c] updatedb

Then try again.

hi,
I had tried that. But it didnt work. There is a probable solution here,

I tried to follow this, but it seems "ldconfig" doesnt work!!!!! ???

Thanks,
Jerry

[Hlingler]

Hm... No, I don't think that will help. Look at this:

 ~]$ type ldconfig
bash: type: ldconfig: not found
 ~]$ locate ldconfig
/etc/seedit/policy/unconfined_ldconfig_t.sp
/etc/uucp/oldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdevelop/configure-project-buildconfig.png
/usr/share/man/man8/ldconfig.8.gz
/usr/src/debug/wine-1.0-fe/dlls/kernel32/oldconfig.c
/var/cache/ldconfig
 ~]$ rpm -qf /sbin/ldconfig
glibc-2.7-2.i686
 ~]$

So, do you have both x86 AND x86_64 arch. packages of glibc installed? If not, install the missing one....

V

[send4jerry]

Yes, i have both.....

# rpm -qf /sbin/ldconfig
glibc-2.8-8.x86_64
glibc-2.8-8.i686



thanks,
jerry.
