Google-Chrome missing lib error! [SOLVED]

#1 Post by Argolance »

Bonjour,
I am running Puppy 5.7.1 - 3.14.56 kernel - Google-chrome version 43.0.2357.132.
This is the error message I get:
/opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
... though nacl_helper doesn't complain about this lib, which is present in the /usr/lib/seamonkey "solibs" directory:

Code: Select all

What's the problem?
I found a "durty" way to solve this while creating links from /usr/lib/seamonkey libs directly to /usr/lib and so, all seems to run as well as possible but this may surely cause side effects...

Cordialement.

Hi, Argolance.

You can go a bit newer with Chrome, y'know. The very last 32-bit Linux Chrome runs fine in 571.....version 48.

Or, you could run SlimJet or Iron (Chromium-based, so they run just like Chrome does; you can sign in to a Google a/c as normal). The last SlimJet that will run in 571 is 14.0.16.0 (based on Chromium 57). The last Iron that will run in 571 is 58.0.3050.0 (based on Chromium 58 ).

You can find SlimJet here:-

You can find Iron here:-

Both packages are produced by OscarTalks. I use both of these myself, and they run great. Oscar also has pet & SFS packages for Chrome 48.....which you can find here:-

BTW, I had to do the same thing with the libs myself. Sym-linking works fine; there's no apparent long-term side-effects! Libnss is Network Security Services, required by virtually all modern browsers.....regardless of the 'engine' that powers them.


Mike. :wink:

Hello Mike!
Thank you a lot for your well-documented reply, mate!
Thank you to these precious guys who compile for us behind the scene!!!
This should solve the problem for a short time indeed: browers mad race makes unfortunately our Puppies being quickly obsolete (glibc and co...).
What a pity!

Cordialement.
