why does this happen......hmmm

[toolshed]

I have problem....i am not sure what i did to do this...but i dont think it was my fault. I use 'kwintv' to watch tv on my Suse box. Well...kwintv will not start any more because it says something like it cant share a 'link, object, or file' with another program.(not sure of the exact error..i amat work)

I think what happen is that i updated helix-gnome desktop and it got overwritten or something by something else...alot of something in this.

Is it possible that helix-gnome's update engine or whatever it is, just added that file for an app it installed or something to that extend.

This is the second time this happen...both times i have been using helix-gnome.

Does anyone know how i can fix this....I really want to know...i just got helix-gnome and Suse working perfect until...my cpu told me who was running the show...and it wasnt me.

Thanks

When you get a chance, please post the exact command you are using to start the program, as well as the exact error message.

$:~ > kwintv
kwintv: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

This is it...see what u can make of it.

You may need to just try reinstalling that library from the RPM. I believe it would be something like xf86_glx-something.rpm. It should be on your CDs somewhere. Look in the XFree86 sections of the YaST package installer.

Before we do that though...What is the output from 'ldconfig -p | grep libGL' ? How about 'find / -name libGL*' ?

What is the output of

ldd `which kwintv`

(Notice the `'s, they are the one on the ~ key)

Yea....today i decided to go back to windowmaker....if i can get this kwintv running i would be happy.

here is my output from those commands:



$ > ldconfig -p | grep libGL
li bGLU.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
$ > ldd which kwintv
which:
ldd: ./which: No such file or directory
kwintv:
ldd: ./kwintv: No such file or directory
$> ldd kwintv
ldd: ./kwintv: No such file or directory
$ > find / -name libGL
$ > find / -name libGL*

The command ldd `which kwintv` needs the " ` " found on the key with this symbol " ~ " as thedexman pointed out at the bottom of his post.
