missing lib with inkscape


Hi

I am trying to add inkscape to grapup 2.0 dillo iso. It runs fine with the opera iso but with dilo if I try and click menu icon for inkscape nothing happens. If I try to run from terminal I get error messages about missing lib files. Following advice from similar posts I have tried adding the developer sfs but this does not seem to make any difference. I have tried copying the missing files from the opera set up but again no luck

Error messages .....

sh-3.00$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkspell.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solved by copying file

sh-3.00# inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Copied file but then got ....

sh-3.00# inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libaspell.so.15: file too short
sh-3.00#

Ideas very welcome.
Thanks

Rather than just copying the files, install the aspell and gtkspell packages from the repo. They actually should have been installed automatically assuming you installed inkscape using the package manager, but if there was a problem there please let me know.

http://grafpup.org/packages/2.0/aspell-0.60.5.tar.gz
http://grafpup.org/packages/2.0/gtkspell-2.0.11.tar.gz

Thanks.

They had been installed. I uninstalled reinstalled and everything is now working.
I am just getting my head around how dependencies are working. I have had similar missing library messages from

hydrogen: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/local/apps/Graphics/Blender/blender: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I am guessing that the installation (all done through Package Manager) is skipping some files. Is it useful for you to know when this happens?


Cheers
Kevin

Yes, very useful. Our package management is partially automatic and partially manual. Automatic for the end user, manual for the packager in the sense that dependencies must be entered manually into a database file right now. I do have a strategy for coping with this in the future though, which should make the whole of it much more developer friendly as well as seemless for the end user.

In the case of Blender it will need the sdl package. The missing libFLAC for Hydrogen should be provided by flac, but since I upgraded flac fairly late in the development cycle I can't remember whether or not I recompiled Hydrogen against the new libraries or not. I'll have to check on it.
