[SOLVED] Missing libXm.so.3 in RHEL 5.6 After Installing

neoserdes · 02-04-2012, 12:12 PM

When I was running a software, I get info:

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I read some posts and installed openmotif from installation DVD

Code:

rpm -i openmotif-2.3.1-5.el5_5.1.i386.rpm

However, the problem is still there:

locate command return nothing, what is wrong with it?

Code:

locate libXm.so.3

Thanks.

Nothing. The "locate data base" gets updated once a day.
If you want to use 'locate' for new files :
Please run the command # updatedb

Other ways of checking libXm.so.3 : rpm -ql openmotif

Or : ls /usr/lib/libXm*

Or : find /usr/lib/ -name libXm*

.

This really helped. Now problem is solved by far. I can launch the sotfware now. Cool.
