if you had the source, you could:

./configure --prefix=/usr

 

 

which would install it to usr, which is where most software looks for libs (really? :P ).

 

 

But remove the package, and do it exactly how i said it :angry:

Yep, that means its isntalled (thats why i got you to do -ivh, its verbal and shows progress).

 

 

Try EL again...

 

still gives the same error message

 

./el.x86.linux.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Check what files were installed and where. You can do this with "rpm -ql openal" (or something like that.) I'm sure there's a way to do it in kpackage too.

I think the problem is that the files where installed, but in such a place that the program can't find them.

 

i done that command and this is what was given in return

 

rpm -ql openal

Basically ln -s libopenal.so.0.0.6 libopenal.so.0 creates a symbolic link for the file libopenal.so.0.0.6 called libopenal.so.0. That means that if some program, say the EL client, tries to access libopenal.so.0, it will actually use libopenal.so.0.0.6

 

The installer should have done this for you, but since it didn't, you can do it yourself.

 

For more information type man ln

Umrion: ur symlinking one file, to two different files....

I know what I'm doing, you don't have to tell me.

Yes, i gathered that, but WHY are you symlinking one file to two?

 

spellbyte: Symbolic linking is creating a link to a file, from any location.

Whenever that file changes, the symbolic link changes.

 

You might want to do a symbloic link to a script or something you run often. for instance.

to run el at any point in a console/shell do:

 

cd /usr/bin
ln -s /path/to/el/el.x86.linux.bin el

 

so, whenever you type, el in a shell, it (!?SHOULD?!) run el, immediately.

i tried that bit of code from umiron and this is what was given back

 

root@yos lib # ln -s libopenal.so.0.0.6 libopenal.so.0

ln: `libopenal.so.0': File exists

root@yos lib # ln -s libopenal.so.0.0.6 libopenal.so

ln: `libopenal.so': File exists

Post the output from these lines then:

ls -l /usr/lib/libopenal.*
ldd el.x86.linux.bin

Change to the el directory before doing the second line.

 

Placid: Because that's the way it's usually done. Check out what symlinks you have in your lib directories.

Here's the problem.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    20 2004-10-14 15:27 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 -> libopenal.so.0.0.0.6

Do this

cd /usr/lib
rm libopenal.so.0
ln -s libopenal.so.0.0.6 libopenal.so.0

I know what symlinks i have, i know what they do :)

I think i read the line wrong... :D

 

 

 

Looks like you already have the symlinks there, but it cant find them...?
