Hello! I am having some trouble starting tracker-search-tool:
[odd-rationale@evo ~]$ tracker-search-tool
tracker-search-tool: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-desktop-2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[odd-rationale@evo ~]$
I tried to search for libgnome-desktop-2.so.2 with pkgfile, but could not find any package.
The tracker daemon itself and the tracker preference utility both work fine. As does Nautilus search tool.
I don't recall having this issue on Gnome 2.22.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ok. I figured out a fix.
# ln -s /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.7.2.5 /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.2
Now everything starts fine.

Others have emphasized many times on the forums that symlinking libraries is a bad idea. Usually you can just rebuild the problematic package from source (get rid of the symlink first) and it will use the libraries you've actually got installed. If you use yaourt, building from source is as easy as:
yaourt -Sb package
Otherwise, read on the wiki about ABS and makepkg.

Cool. I didn't know about that.
That seems like a better solution!
Thanks!
