Problems with libdb_cxx-4.3.so

Hi everyone,

Klibido tells me this:

klibido: error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-4.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I install this libraries???

Thanks for your help

Re: Problems with libdb_cxx-4.3.so

Most likely your problem is that klibido is compiled using libdb 4.3 or whatever package that .so belongs to and then the arch repo updated libdb from 4.3 to 4.4 and therefor also changed the name of that file.

I acctually don't know what the correct solution for this would be in the eyes of our dear developers, but if you want a temporary fix until they do a proper fix you can just link the new 4.4 file to the name that klibido wants it to be.

Example:
ln -s /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.4.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.3.so

I wouldn't mind getting that answer on this myself by the way.
Why does it happen?

First, don't symlink libs like that. It could create problems.

To fix it, just rebuild klibido and reinstall it.
