How I solved this problem: I uninstalled the broken libgphoto2 package from synaptic. I ran the command whereis to see if libgphoto was installed somewhere It gave me /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2* etc I went to /usr/local and moved all libgphoto2 related libraries to a backup folder. Then installing libgphoto2 from synaptic worked without problems
*Uninstall libgphoto2 from synaptic $> whereis libgphoto2 $> cd /usr/local/lib/ $> sudo mkdir backup_libgphoto $> sudo mv libgphoto* backup_libgphoto/ *Install libgphoto2 from synaptic Not sure if related, but: While doing the steps above I also downloaded libgphoto tar.gz from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8874&package_id=8957&release_id=528571 and after extracting it to a folder I ran ONLY ./configure (without make and make install) Hope it helps, Eduard -- Installing libgphoto2-2 on Gutsy fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
