libwx not found
« on: April 29, 2005, 04:08:58 PM »
Hi. I've searched the forums for solutions to this problem but still wasn't able to fix it. I installed aMule and the wxGTK package and when I try to run aMule, I get this error message:

amule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.5.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can someone help me please? Thanks.

hi

if you compiled it yourself and your wx-config is in /usr/local/bin/

add the path

/usr/local/lib

to
/etc/ld.so.conf

and run
/sbin/ldconfig

after that, this should solve the problem :)

I didn't compile it myself. I got it from here
http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_view.php?by=name&name=amule&ver=10.1

It's a .tgz package. I got wxGTK from there too.


This is what my ld.so.conf looks like (I didn't change it)
/usr/local/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/opt/kde/lib

Do you need more information? Thanks.

look if you can find it in:

ls -l /usr/lib/libwx*
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libwx*

and you should contact the package maintainer and ask him what wxgtk he uses

cheers

Well, your amule package would like to use wxGTK-2.5.3 compiled with GTK2 and without Unicode support. Your installed wxGTK package doesn't meet these requirements. Either compile aMule manually, with your installed wxGTK, or try to find a matching wxGTK package.

Well, stefanero, I admit that I don't know much about Slackware. I based my reply on:

DeltaHF, thanks a TON, your suggestion, though to another person, was the last of the maaaaaaany difficulties I had to overcome in order to be able to finally manage to configure/compile/install amule ^_^
