Enviroment Variables

[chrisge]

HI linux gurus, I am attempting to install mcafee anti virus program to scan mails (test version) The install appears to finish without a hitch but when I go to run the uvscan I recieve "error in loading shared librarys: libstdc++.so.8:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" I have tryed LD_LIBRARIES_PATH but I know I did not use it correctly. My question whitch file do I need to edit in order to give in the correct environment variable. I am running a suse email server 2 based on a 7.0 version with a 2.2.16 kernel.

whenever you install a new prog that messes with libraries, its generally good to run a ldconfig afterwords. If that doesn't work... make sure that link exists (notice the .8 at the end?) and if possible, tell it the exact address.

HI Gaccm, I ran a ldconfig after the install and it still does not want to run. Sorry you lost me on verifying that the link exists. where should the link be and what should it be called? The install placed links in the the following dir's /usr/local/bin ../Lib ../Man In the help file it says that "might need to include the name of, and path to, your installation directory in a variable. What file should be edited and what should be edited in? Thanks for your help.

Where did it install the libraries? What does it say when you type cat /etc/ld.so.conf

[chrisge]

At a console box Permission denied. in a text editor there is no mention of uvscan I wrote in the path there for the virus scanner but still no go. (Probally wrong syntax)just returned me a uvscan not a known library type. after the ldconfig. :( bummer. I know that I am missing somthing simple.

You need to be running as root when you type ldconfig or when you attempt to cat /etc/ld.so.conf

I may be a newbie to linux but not to rights and net administration :D :)

Sorry it has been a long day fighting with the lusers on my nt domain.
