Title: amuled start fails (missing libwx_base-2.5.so.5??) [solved]
Post by: nukebomb on April 08, 2005, 01:00:34 AM

Hi all.
After three days of hard work, I finally finished compiling the latest CVS package.
My wish was to create a aMule Deamon plus Webserver on my Mandrake 10.1 without X!.

Everythings seems to be in place, but when I try to start amuled it says:

"amuled: error while loading shared libaries: libwx_base2.5.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I compiled the latest tarball from http://www.wxWidgets.org (2.5.5) as told in the Amule compiling HOWTO.

I also tried to make amuled work by installing libwxgtk2.5 and wxGTK2.5.

"rpm -qa | grep wx" gives libwxgtk2.5_1-2.5.1-5.3.101mdk and wxGTK2.5-2.5.1-5.3.101mdk

Any ideas?
Thx
Please keep it simple, it's my second LINUX Week.

Hey, thx for the quick answer:)

its in /usr/local/lib/libwx_base-2.5.so.5
another location is /pub/temp/wxGTK-2.5.5/lib/libwx_base.2.5.so.5, thats the directory where i extracted and compiled the package in.

Do I have to copy it by hand to some "freely accessible" directory? I thought /usr/local/lib would be the right place:(

no no copy :)

just add

/usr/local/lib

to

/etc/ld.so.conf

and then run
/sbin/ldconfig

this will add hte path to the known libs, after that restart your amuled and it should find the missing lib

to give a quote from on of my favorite bands:
"You're simply the best!"

It worked.

I guess the community and people like you make LINUX better that Windoof.
