error while loading shared libraries:libdbus-glib-1.s0.2....

#1 Post by Vipin »

I was trying to install seamonkey 2.0.

I used the readme.txt file that came with the software and followed the steps mentioned there. But wen i ran the script named 'seamonkey', following error occured:

error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please help me how can i remove this error.

I am very keen to learn puppy and customize it for my desktop. Pets are not so easily found for every popular software on the net. So i want to learn how to compile available source code in to .pet file. Can anyone give me address of some good tutorials on compiling softwares in puppy.
Thanks!

OK, try doing this. Open a console, (Menu>Utility>Rxvt), then enter this command:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0 /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2

I got the problem sorted out...

Actually even after installing .pet files given above, the required library files didn't appear in /usr/lib directory. I got the library files at following address:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=343968

copied them to /usr/lib/, and now everything is working fine :D . I installed new and better seamonkey.

Yes, I had another squizz at the two .pets, & they, oddly, install the libraries to local directories. Anyway glad you sorted it out in the end.
