Getting an error from yaourt about shared libraries....

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 12:12:30

[dane@myhost ~]$ yaourt -S google-earth
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libyajl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libyajl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libyajl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: 'google-earth': could not find or read package
[dane@myhost ~]$

what do I make of this?

Install yajl.

It is always concerning to see that people making packages for package managers can not even get that right...

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 12:22:20

I "sudo pacman -S yajl"

my system already had it...
same error occurs when trying to install google-earth....

no change

What does "ls -l /usr/lib/libyajl.so*" give you?

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 12:28:49

[dane@myhost ~]$ ls -l /usr/lib/libyajl.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 10 09:22 /usr/lib/libyajl.so -> libyajl.so.1
[dane@myhost ~]$

Allan · 2011-03-02 12:35:44

I had a "*" there... I want to see that the "libyajl.so.1" is really there. If it is, post the output of running "file" on it.

[dane@myhost ~]$ file /usr/lib/libyajl.so
/usr/lib/libyajl.so: symbolic link to `libyajl.so.1'

Allan · 2011-03-02 12:47:49

ls -l /usr/lib/libyajl.so*
file /usr/lib/libyajl.so.1

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 14:31:55

Are you using the horrible archlinuxfr repo? If you are, check if you have a 32bit package-query ona 64bit system (or the other way aroud)

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 21:02:40

yeah, I have multilib and archlinuxfr repos.. how would I check about the libs? (and change it if its wrong?)
I was under the impression that 64bit used 32bit libs anyway.... (I am currently running 64bit on this machine...as well as 2 others)

Mr.Elendig · 2011-03-02 22:34:06

Remove the [archlinuxfr] repo from pacman.conf and just build yaourt and package-query using makepkg yourself (or even better, use cower instead of yaourt)

BarefootSoul83 · 2011-03-02 23:10:48

sounds interesting Me Eiendig... I wish I was that well versed...

however, I have all the same stuff on a different laptop and know if can be done with my current configuration....
So, it may take longer....but I'm going to try to work it out... but I will read up on your way and see if its something that I can learn to do

any pointers would be great....

Mr.Elendig · 2011-03-03 15:47:40

Seriously, the [archlinuxfr] repo is full of broken and outdated packages. You should not use it.

namuol · 2011-05-30 21:57:13

@Mr.Elendig

cower is great, but it's hardly a replacement for yaourt... it's just an AUR package downloader.

If you want a replacement for yaourt, try clyde.
