FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid Extended Attributes library.
Install the extended attributes (attr) development package.
Alternatively, run "make install-lib" from the attr source.
I've read the problem lies in the attr package installed previously, so I rebuilt that too number of time still getting the same error.
perhaps the problem lies in the symmlink created in the end of attr:
Code:
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so) /usr/lib/libattr.so
Moreover ,
My attr points to
Code:
readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so
../../lib/
What might've went wrong?
EDIT :
SOULTION:
I deleted all the attr files under /lib and /usr/lib
Code:
rm -rvf /usr/lib/libattr*
rm -rvf /lib/libattr*
And reinstalled the Attr package now the symmlink points correctly:
Code:
readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so
../../lib/libattr.so.1
Perhaps I made a typo error in making Attr
Happy Coding,
