Something is really screwy here...libfontconfig.so.* and libfreetype.* are already there - and even copying them to /usr/lib doesn't help. ldconfig -m doesn't help. ldconfig -r even lists it:
40:-lfontconfig.6.0 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.6.0 and ldconfig -R /usr/X11R6/lib adds all the libs in that directory just fine. but still: /usr/local/libexec/symux: can't load library 'libfontconfig.so.6.0' I wonder if it can't load not because it can't find it, but for some other reason - but I'd think it would give a different error. david On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 6:50 PM, <b...@compumundohypermegared.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Try ldconfig -m > > -m Merge the result of the scan of the directories given as > arguments into the existing hints file. > > www.compumundohypermegared.org > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Hardy <planetm...@gmail.com> > Sender: owner-m...@openbsd.orgdate: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 15:30:18 > To: <misc@openbsd.org> > Subject: installing symux, can't load libraries > > I'm trying to install symux, and when I try and run it I get: > > /usr/local/libexec/symux: can't load library 'libfontconfig.so.6.0' > > i have installed xbase47.tgz (it wasn't installed originally), and the > library is there in /usr/X11R6/lib and I have run 'ldconfig > /usr/X11R6/lib'. > I have also added that to shlib_dirs in rc.conf and rebooted. > > odd thing is if I run 'ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib' and then try symux, I get > "can't load library 'librrd.so.3.0'".
