Create lib links manually?

I just run that command and found some libs that don't exist:

ldd /usr/bin/* | grep "not found"

Output:

libfltk_gl.so.1.1 => not found
        libfltk.so.1.1 => not found
        libexiv2-0.10.so => not found
        libexiv2-0.10.so => not found
        libexiv2-0.10.so => not found

But I know that libexiv2 is installed... is it save to create a link manually?

ln -s /usr/lib/libexiv2.so /usr/lib/libexiv2-0.10.so

or will I get errors someday (maybe during a pacman update) ?

Well, its not pretty to synlink like that, but hey if it works..
As of pacman troubles, well, the only thing i can see go wrong is file-exists errors, bur throw an -f to pacman and it'll overwrite the symlink.

Better idea: identify the apps that are looking for the missing libs, ad see if you can find out what went wrong. You may have found bugs.

Re: Create lib links manually?

One program that is missing libexiv2-0.10.so:

gimp-ufraw 0.9.1-3

is there any better way of finding missing libs?

ldd /usr/bin/*

is too verbose... is there an option / program that only lists missing libraries??

Use that script:
http://www.archlinux.org/~tpowa/lddd

The output will be in /tmp/lddd-XXXX

EDIT: to fix gimp-ufraw, just rebuild it. You should submit a bug report.
