This is a great resource that would be much more valuable if the symlinks worked. A tar of each lib with working symlinks would be much more straightforward to install.

Thanks for the advice WhoDo and HairyWill
But you want me to make over 1000 hyperlinks?Ummm would probably be better as a team effort, like 10 people 100+ links each.
all at once lol
I actually might revisit it and try to work something out once I get some extra free time.

Hope it helps. Mind you it is a kind of backwards way of doing things as the libs must have had proper symlinks when ttuuxxx downloaded the slackware package.

The best way of all would be the utility I was working on a year ago.
If a program error was a missing library, the app. dnlded & installed it.
The app. then trys running the program again until it had all the libraries.
It would require a permanent URL to point to dnld sites like ttuuxxx's.
Also needed codecs for music & movies would be automatically installed.
Device drivers (modules) would still need to be installed manually though.

libglut.so.3 seems to be missing. Tried using a renamed libglut.so.3.8.0 instead, but I'm not sure if this is causing my problems with Compiz. Can you just rename later versions like that? The dependant program will not detect it without renaming.

console calls for "libraptor.so.1" when entering # ardour on console .I have dled "Libraptor.a" from ttuuxxx's database listing and placed it in a folder called "lib" I now need to understand how to unzip ? or unarchive ? and be able to point to it so "libraptor.so.1 " can be satisfied.Can someone give some instructions on this or correct my thinking if I am all wet ? Laughing

thanks,bill

Bill,

the file you need is this one:

http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/Libs/libraptor.so.1.1.0

save to /usr/lib, then create a symlink by:

Hi muggins,thanks for your help .I think I have the /usr/lib directory sorted with libraptor.so.1..1 installed inside /lib but when I use :
ln -s/usr/lib/libraptor.so.1.1 /usr/lib/libraptor.so.1 then enter
I get a "permission denied " ?

Did I forget to say "PLease !" Laughing

cheers,bill

When you say "installed inside /lib", is this a typo? As should be to /usr/lib, which is a different location. Also, it isn't:

Hi muggins,Sorry for the confusion and yes I followed your instructions of /usr/lib/libraptor.so.1 which seems to be installed but on typing in Ardour on the command line it says:Cannot open shared object file . no such program or directory.I really don't know where I am going wrong but I guess I will keep bull dogging it and see what I can come up with.I may have to start over ? Anyway thanks for you help.cheers,bill

Thanks ttuuxxx for putting this up. Razz

Two of the missing libraries (libtk8.4.so and libcl8.4.so) I was looking for to install python 2.4.3 in Dingo were here. Python was also looking for libdb-4.3.so and I got it by popping in a live CD of another linux distro and getting it from there.
