error loading lynx (solved, thank you)

gunshot · 2006-09-27 07:18:27

Hello.

I've got a clean base arch installation.

1st:

I've installed Lynx web browser using pacman. When I type
pacman -Qs lynx the result is:
local/lynx 2.8.5-3

When I type lynx it says:
error while loading shared libraries - libssl.so.0.9.8

I've then installed links, when I try to start it, it says the same error

2nd:
I've got a ~500mb arch linux CD, containing not only the base system. I've installed only base (recommended). How do I install packages from the CD (X for example)?

Thank you very much!

hi,
lynx is installed to /usr ... binary=/usr/bin/lynx
try

which lynx

i didn't quite understand what you meant by nothing happens..
do u mean, bash returned a "command not found error.."

Re:2 - -

u could install them through the installer, however i recommend installing from the arch repos .. as the cd is most likely out of date by now..(i personally don't know how to use the cd as a repo src.. and i do not have a full inst cd to research.. maybe someone else know)

installing Xorg7 | http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … igure_xorg

you can simply install whatever packages you need through the

pacman -S [pkg_name/s]

or if u r running this command for the first time...

pacman -Sy [pkg_name/s]

also, here are some post-install tips from the wiki | http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pos … ation_Tips

The problem was that you had an old version of openssl on your system, and you tried to use the new lynx package with it, which didn't work. Since you upgraded openssl, now it works fine.

My advice is to do a pacman -Syu to get the newest packages - that'll keep errors like this from happening in the future.
