ldconfig not finding library when installing rpm

FC4T2: I'm trying to install an rpm (simply double clicking in xwin) and I'm getting a 'Package Not Found' error during install sa ying that 'libImlib2.so.1' is not found. (I did run ldconfig)

# more /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/

# ls -al /usr/local/lib
total 3264
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 9 14:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 May 9 10:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 6 12:46 imlib2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1031728 May 6 13:09 libImlib2.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 873 May 6 13:09 libImlib2.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 6 13:09 libImlib2.so -> libImlib2.so.1.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 6 13:09 libImlib2.so.1 -> libImlib2.so.1.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 828617 May 6 13:09 libImlib2.so.1.2.0

Do I have the wrong config file? Is it because its a link to the actualy library?

wesly_chen

Does /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory exist on your FC4T2?
If not, then comment out
#include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
in /etc/ld.so.conf

and run
rm /etc/ld.so.cache
ldconfig

It does exist, but I'll try it anyhow.

wesly_chen

Then do
which libImlib2.so.1
to check.

jstretch

ASKER

[root@localhost ~]# which libImlib2.so.1
/usr/bin/which: no libImlib2.so.1 in (/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/bin:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

It appears its not picking up /usr/local/lib

jstretch

ASKER

(bumping it up to 300)
I added /usr/local/lib to my PATH and now get:

[root@localhost ~]# which libImlib2.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libImlib2.so.1

However I still get the "Package Not Found" message when trying to install this RPM. The library is not getting linked property..corrupt file?

wesly_chen

Please do
rpm -ivh <package name>.rpm
and post the exact error here so people here can more details to understand your issue.

[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivh imlib2-loader_argb-1.2.0.007-1.20050508.e17.fc3.i386.rpm

wesly_chen

Could do
rpm -qa |grep 0i imlib
to see if you have any previous version of imlib2?

jstretch

ASKER

I did your rpm qa and about 10 variations with grep and always get:

grep: imlib2: No such file or directory
grep: libimlib2: No such file or directory
grep: libImlib2.so.1: No such file or directory
etc...

wesly_chen

Oops, typo.
rpm -qa |grep -i imlib

jstretch

ASKER

[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -qa | grep -i imlib
imlib-devel-1.9.13-24
imlib-1.9.13-24
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -qa | grep -i libimlib2
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -qa | grep -i libImlib2
[root@localhost Desktop]#
