[SOLVED] ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libusbpp-0.1.so.4 is not a symbolic link

Hello;
I've been using Arch for about three months now (previously used Debian Sid for roughly 10 ten years). I am a teacher in the U.S. I needed to install the SMART Board (TM) and SMART Notebook (TM) software to use in my classes. I had to download and unpack libusb-0.1.12-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz, from the Arch rollback machine, into it's own directory in my home directory. I then tried to symlink the files to /usr/lib32/ but kept getting a too many symlinks error. I finally just copied the files into /usr/lib32/. I now get "ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libusbpp-0.1.so.4 is not a symbolic link", and "ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libusb-0.1.so.4 is not a symbolic link" everytime I upgrade or install anything else to my system. My system seems to be running fine and I can connect to and use the SMART Board (TM) and SMART Notebook (TM) software without a hitch. I'm attempting to do things the "Arch way" but fear I may have messed up. Any thoughts and suggestions are keenly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

Re: [SOLVED] ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libusbpp-0.1.so.4 is not a symbolic link

Could you post the output of the following commands?

# ls -lah /usr/lib | grep libusb
# ls -lah /usr/lib32 | grep libusb

Here you go:

Thanks for any insight.

Doing the following should take care of those warnings for you:

cd /usr/lib32
rm libusbpp-0.1.so.4
rm libusb-0.1.so.4
ln -s libusbpp-0.1.so.4.4.4 libusbpp-0.1.so.4
ln -s libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4 libusb-0.1.so.4

ln -s libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4 libusb-0.1.so.4

imo the package that owns those files is broken and needs to be fixed.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
