libXinerama.so.1

JaH · 2004-04-11 11:14:17

Hi
I did a system update today and i got these errors:

#pacman -Su
upgrading gtk2 2.4.0-2
usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
upgrading librsvg 2.6.4-3
usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems that those packages got installed... But what those errors mean? My system seems to run fine...

The maintainer uses a system with Xinerama (dual display) and you don't.

JaH · 2004-04-11 13:37:10

Ok, now I have more problems...

I tried to run Gimp:

$ gimp
gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So this prevents me to run Gimp and possibly others programs that use gtk2, but since I use kde I don't have so many of those...

But what should I do to get Gimp back?

File a bug report

Xentac · 2004-04-11 17:09:15

[jchu@aries jchu]$ locate libXinerama
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so

What does this command output on your machine? My guess is that you upgraded xfree86 but didn't restart it, to load everything again.

JaH · 2004-04-11 18:01:42

No, I haven't upgraded my xfree86. I'm still using version 4.3.0. I'm having IgnorePkg = xfree86 in my pacman.conf.

# locate libXinerama
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.a

So the file really is missing, but where can I get it, and do I really need it? Would xfree86 upgrade solve this?

JaH

Xentac · 2004-04-11 18:07:52

xfrre86 4.4 include libXinerama as a shared library. Any apps compiled with X 4.4 and Xinerama linked in (most of them) won't work with 4.3.

JaH · 2004-04-11 18:19:49

Thanks

Does anyone know if these work with the X.Org fork?

Arielext · 2004-04-13 20:19:33

sure why not?
as long as you build x.org with xinerama

and indeed Judd did it!

pacman -Qo /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 is owned by x 11R6.7.0-1t1

Hi,

I have the same problem with Xinerama.

pacman -Qo /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 is owned by xfree86 4.4.0-1

Is there already a fix for it ?
While compiling openoffice I also had the error:

....error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had to go back to Xfree86 4.3.0 to get openoffice compiled.

Is there a new package of Xfree 86 4.4.0 which will fix this ?

Kin · 2004-04-22 10:54:16

hm, seems the problem comes from installing the latest gtk2 package. So will there be aa fixed one ?

Kin

zeppelin · 2004-04-23 09:21:38

go to /etc/pacman.conf and write
IgnorePkg = xfree86

and then do a
pacman -S x

and you're ready

sear · 2004-04-27 16:55:35

i just get bluefish and gaim by pacman -S package and then i get the same error.

change the config file like described won't help....same error every time i would start bluefish or gaim.

anyone who can help me?

sear · 2004-04-27 17:00:49

hmm i installed gftp (with pacman) and now if i want to open it by typing gftp into the console another ugly error comes up:

/usr/bin/gftp-gtk: error while loading shared libaries; libcrypto.so.0.7.9 cannot open shared oject file: no such file or directory

looks very familiar. but this sucks.

anyone who knows help??

sear · 2004-04-27 17:47:53

oh damn......that sucks.
my xfce doesn't come up anymore because of this libXinerama. the panel crashes all the time (didn't show up anymore, just the error). how can i fix this?

i've added
IgnorePkg = xfree

to /etc/pacman.conf

and then wanted to do pacman -S x, an error ocured; something like "can not find package x"....

pleeease heeeeeelp :!:

dp · 2004-04-27 17:56:38

why do you not want to use the newest xfree86?

do you have your system up-to-date?

(pacman -Q xfree86 openssl)

do you get similar output for these?:

[damir@Asteraceae /]$ locate libcrypto
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
[damir@Asteraceae /]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is owned by openssl 0.9.7d-1
[damir@Asteraceae /]$

zeppelin · 2004-04-27 19:43:56

hello sear and plz use the X. [i have that one and it provides the missing .so file you're looking for]

did you do
pacman -Rd xfree86
nano -w /etc/pacman.conf
[testing]
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing

pacman -Sy x
and you still get the same error?
this is not possible I think

dp · 2004-04-27 21:44:13

x is in testing-repository:

add

[testing]
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing

to /etc/pacman.conf to use it

dp · 2004-04-27 21:47:19

of course, if adding repositories to pacman.conf, remember to run update the pacman dbs

zeppelin · 2004-04-27 22:21:21

sorry I forgot it. I just fixed it.

onami · 2004-05-10 05:05:35

I have the same probrem.
I did what you sayd, butwhen :
pacman -S x
gives a conflict with libGL

zeppelin · 2004-05-10 08:55:48

hmm
pacman -R mesa maybe??
and try try pacman -S x again

if not then do pacman -Qo path/to/libGL

and see which package owns this file.
most likely remove that package and then pacman -S x

lanrat · 2004-05-10 10:21:57

This libgl can be from nvidia driver installer (pacman -Qo .... should tell you then that the file does not belong to any package in it's database). If it is the case try forcing x to install with pacman -Sf xfree or pacman -Sf x (depending on what you prefer). Remember to reinstall nvidia driver after x/xfree upgrade - it may also produce some error messages in nvidia-installer log but it shuld be ok.
