rpm installation problem
 

hi,
i am trying to install a package using following command

but it gives following error!

however when i searched for the file libopenobex.so.1 it is in the /usr/local/lib directory.
why it is not finding the library libopenobex.so.1?
Please help .

thanks

If it is in /usr/local/lib maybe he does not see it. You can verify if libopenobex.so.1 is included in the library cache using ldconfig -p as root. Anyway, why don't use yum to install the package, so that it can take care of the dependencies automagically?

i ran the command
which gave that libopenobex.so.1 is not in the list.please tell me how to add this.

i am not using yum because i don't have internet connection on linux pc.

thanks

Take a look at man ldconfig. Anyway, how did you installed libopenobex.so.1? If you have compiled it from source, maybe it's better to install a pre-compiled version from a binary package to assure compatibility.

i compiled it from the source.
now i did
it gave
the reason i compiled it from source was that another package which uses same libopenobex.so.1 file was not available in rpm form.hence i had install these packages from source.

thanks & regards

Maybe libopenobex.so.1 is a link? What is the output from file /usr/local/lib/libopenobex.so.1?

You can try to install either openobex for RHEL4 or openobex for CentOS 5.3. Use the --test option of rpm to test the installation without actually installing anything passing both the openobex and the libobexftp packages as arguments.

please tell me how to add library in ldconfig.

thanks

What is the output from and
?

The problem is that rpm doesn't check for dependencies in
the file-system or any PATH, but in its RPM database. I
think that however libobex made it into /usr/local - it
wasn't via rpm (and hence rpm doesn't know about it).

thank u sir,
but i am trying to configure bluetooth on my rhel5 for last 5 days. i don't know what i am doing wrong.if u please guide me into this i will be vry thakful.this is what i did..

1.i installed bluez-libs-3.36, bluez-utils-3.36 from source code since i did not find rpm.
2.configured hcid.conf & rfcomm.conf
3.installed obexftp & obexpushd.

then tried to transfer the files but nothing seems to work..

thanks in advance

You're doing a mix-and-match (and that doesn't work). Either
find an RPM for all those packages, or install the ones that
depend on source modules from source as well.

and where do i find all the necessary packages? because some of the packages like bluez does not come in rpm.

See the links in post #7 by Colucix?

Or just look for them in the Red Hat Network service. It looks like they released an update of bluez-utils and blue-libs for RHEL5, so that it means they did the bluetooth packages!
