[SOLVED] vi broken after upgrade to Fedora 17

[Doug Hutcheson]

I have just upgraded to Fedora 17. Now, when I try to run vi, I get this message:

vim: error while loading shared libraries: libruby.so.1.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I could not find *libruby* in a yum search, so I installed (updated) ruby-libs, which seemed the next nearest likely candidate, but the problem is still there.

How do I find and install the missing dependency, when 'yum search libruby' does not find it?

AArgh! I have found vi works as root user, but not as my normal user. Something has the wrong permissions, but what?

---------------------------
More info:

[doug@cardraeh doug]$ locate libruby.so
/usr/lib64/libruby.so.1.9
/usr/lib64/libruby.so.1.9.1

So it looks as though vi(m) is expecting an earlier version of the ruby libraries. Vi(m) appears to be the latest copy:

[root@cardraeh ~]# yum update vi
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
No Packages marked for Update

Close, but no cigar ;-)

yum update vi

This doesn't do anything, because there is no package named vi or vim. Try

yum update vim-enhanced

To find out the name of the package:

yum provides /usr/bin/vim

and for the library:

yum provides "libruby.so*"

Thank you both for your replies. I had concurrent problems doing a yum update after upgrading from f16 to 17 -see this post here. Once I had resolved all the conflicts and completed a yum update, vi started working as expected.
