Post by: k4be on March 26, 2005, 07:59:16 PM

i installed amule (it was really hard job) and it doesn't start... only jumping amule icon appears for few seconds and nothing else.. :( i can't describe it clearly because my english is not so good :|

Post by: stefanero on March 27, 2005, 11:55:52 AM

check if you still have a
.eMule fie in your home dir, from teh last time amule ran...

if so delete it, but realy check close since its a hidden file
ls -la
shows them all.

this file does not exist, i also tell that amule has never been running before - it simply can't start.

how do you start amule?

can you start it from console and tell me the backtrace taht it gives?

Post by: k4be on March 27, 2005, 02:19:16 PM

Code: [Select]

root@d1:~# amule
amule: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@d1:~#If i start with shortcut, it seems to run normally, but nothing appears. File libssl.so is in /usr/lib.

Title: Re: can't start
Post by: stefanero on March 27, 2005, 02:21:55 PM

well it does not appear because of that error ;)

can you install openssl-devel and restart?

Title: Re: can't start
Post by: k4be on March 27, 2005, 02:28:51 PM

i installed it from slackware packages and from net, nothing changed.

There is probably a missing link, for some reason:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libssl.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 26 Dec 14 20:01 /usr/lib/libssl.so -> ../../lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a

So, what I suggest is:

1) find libssl.so.0. In my case:

$ whereis libssl.so.0
libssl.so: /lib/libssl.so.4 /usr/lib/libssl.so

$ ls -l /lib/libssl.so.*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 213600 Oct  5 10:01 /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     16 Jan 16  2004 /lib/libssl.so.4 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a

2) Add a link for it, if it does not exist:
$ ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a /usr/lib/libssl.so
$ ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a /lib/libssl.so.4

3) re-run aMule and see what is the next error message. What? You thought it would be easy? :) Your system has some brain damage, don't be surprised...

Cheers!

btw ...when you run knoppix you cannot use your slackware packages anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Similar situation
Post by: wolf4914 on April 01, 2005, 03:36:51 AM

Hi ! I had amule running fine in Mandrake 10.1 but it was hanging my cable modem every 2-3 hours - I changed the number of connections per 5 sec from 20 to 10 and on the next login it will hang on me.\
  Then I removed it and reinstalled. On a new install it crashes with this backtrace:
[vadim@localhost vadim]$ amule
Initialising aMule
Userhash loaded: AB1ED3D3B00EEC3F48B007D3BD576FA0

 The client itself also says on a startup (I can see GUI for 2-3 sec )
External connections disabled in aMule.config file and that  server.met file was not lo I checked my .aMule directory  and here is the output:
[vadim@localhost .aMule]$ ls -al

   I am pretty sure it has to do with previous installation - but can not figure it out!
    Thanks !

wolf4914,

Try to generate a gdb backtrace:

I followed the instructions - this is the output:
Starting program:  gdb
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.
(gdb)
/path/to/core/file/core.6815: No such file or directory.

Heh, run it like this "gdb ", for instance, I usually do this:
gdb src/amule
run

bt

Thanks for your time - too much reading and  trouble for nothing - even when it was running it was hanging my cable modem every 2 hours and speeds were low. I switched to Edonkey2000 - my speeds are in 200's and no problem with the modem - oh well aMule is not for my system I guess..... Thanks again

But when I do the step above all I get is

libssl.so:

Nothing else!

What has gone wrong?

I just re-installed Mandrake 10.1 again and amule is "amule-2.0.3-2.1.101ise.i586.rpm"

Thanks for any help!

$ ls -l /lib/libssl.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 Jan 16  2004 /lib/libssl.so.4 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
$ rpm -qf /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
openssl-0.9.7a-42.1

So, install openssl first.

Cheers!
