aMule 1.1.1b won't run on mandrake 9.1
« on: November 03, 2003, 09:42:51 PM »

Hi,
I was running aMule 1.0.8 sinc 10 days without major pb...
So I decide to upgrade to the lastest version...
I download the 1.1.1b rpm, install it....
And now it doesn't want to start :
[code:1]amule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/code:1]

My config : mdk9.1/kernel 2.4.21mdk, Athlon 1300 /512Mo, wxGTK-2.4.0-4mdk, libwxPythonGTK2.4-2.4.1.2-3mdk

Any Idea ?
Thanks a lot

Well, I'm not a Mandrake user, so I can't really verify where you might find this library, but this doesn't really belong in the bugs section since it's just an issue with you missing a particular library.  Posts like this should go in the aMule Help forum.

I had the same problem.. it put the wxGTK lib into /usr/local/libs instead of /usr/libs.

I just copied the files from the /usr/local/libs dir into the usr/libs folder.

I was having the same problem, but like bingus, my problem was with the location of the wxGTK files. Since I had a version of Python installed, the wxGTK files were in its directory. Making a link from that to usr/libs solved the problem.

Ahh, but see, that's the problem. Just installing "the right rpms" is not enough! They have to be installed IN THE RIGHT ORDER. In my example, I had installed some wxGTKPython package first, which resulted in the wxGTK package not installing files in the correct directory (since these were apparently already installed by the Python package, just someplace else).

Instillation of RPMs

Running Mandrake 9.1(bamboo)  and got amule to install properly...

1.  Put all 4 RPMs into a separate folder
2.  Goto shell of choise (i use bash) make sure you have root permission!
3.  Goto the new folder Amule is in and type
[code:1]rpm -Uvh *.rpm[/code:1]
4.  Run
[code:1]updatedb && ldconfig[/code:1]


It should install all the libs ad files in the right order. At least it worked for me...

Here's what it looks like incase your interested
[code:1][root@localhost amule]# ls
aMule-1.1.2-1.i586-SuSE-RH-MDK.rpm*  wxGTK-devel-2.4.1.2-43.i586.rpm*
wxGTK-2.4.1.2-43.i586.rpm*           wxGTK-gl-2.4.1.2-43.i586.rpm*
[root@localhost amule]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:wxGTK                  ########################################### [ 25%]
   2:aMule                  ########################################### [ 50%]
   3:wxGTK-devel            ########################################### [ 75%]
   4:wxGTK-gl               ########################################### [100%]
[root@localhost amule]# updatedb && ldconfig
[root@localhost amule]#
[/code:1]

Add  /usr/local/lib to  /etc/ld.so.conf and run again ldconfig should do the trick.
