Hello I am using Slackware 13.1 with the uname -a output:

Linux darkstar 2.6.33.4 #2 Thu May 13 00:27:45 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

When the binary smbpasswd is executed it gives the following output

Quote:

smbpasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libwbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

ldd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd has this output

The find command locates the missing library at

/usr/local/samba/lib/libwbclient.so.0

I do not know how to direct the binary to the missing library.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hmm. Sounds like it wasn't installed properly. Hopefully that's your only problem.

Try:

Code:

ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libwbclient.so.0 /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0

That's where it goes in Debian, I don't know about Slackware.

Where are those other libraries on your system? On mine they're in /usr/lib. If they're somewhere else on your system, adjust the ln command accordingly.

That fixed the problem but I'm still wondering why it was necessary because I compiled samba-3.5.6 from source and that is just where the library was placed. curious??

Thanks for the help gd2shoe

I don't know. Seems odd to me too. You're welcome.

That's not a slackware package, is it ... slacks samba doesn't
live under /usr/local. How did you install samba?

Cheers,
Tink

It was installed from the samba-3.5.6 source code acquired from samba.org, just using "./configure" and "make install" commands in the source3 directory of the extracted package.

The default samba for Slackware 13.1 is version 3.5.2.
'samba-3.5.2-* is on the install DVD // cd disk 1.

Some binaries are hard coded to look in /usr/lib(:/lib) only.
That may be the issue with 'smbpasswd'.
( And may be also with your other samba executables.)

If you want a later version, the best ( and most correct ) solution is ..
Use the samba-3.5.6 Slackbuild from Slackware-current :
ftp://ftp.slackware.org.uk/slackware...ource/n/samba/

I will be sure to do that in the future,

Thanks Knudfl
