System is the same - trying to run amule 2.3.1-1 and nothing happens if I try to run using the icon. Opening a console and running from console I get the following error.
amule: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
any starting points ? My binutils installed is binutils (2.22-6ubuntu1).

That's totally unrelated to the thread where you posted it.
Did you compile aMule yourself or install it from your distro?
-
sorry Stu. Ran it from the Distro. Distro is Ubuntu 12.04 lts on AMD x64. All bits are standard upgrade from 11 for 12.04. I haven't mucked with it as yet.

Hm. Isn't libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so a strange name for a lib supplied with a distro?
Anyway, you installed something from a package and it isn't working. Some required lib is failing or missing.
You can
- spend 117 back and forth posts analyzing that issue with someone who loves to analyze distro problems (like Vollstrecker)
- ask the distro guys (won't help, because it's working in general, just not for you)
- hope for someone posting here "easy, just ..."
- reinstall Ubuntu
- build aMule from source
I suggest the latter (unless you don't mind reinstalling your OS). 12.04 even ships the right wxWidgets version, so it's piece of cake. See http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/HowTo_Compile_In_Ubuntu

Compiled from scratch and it does work. Yep it's a funny sort of error and I've got no idea where it crept in.
