cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - but the file is there!
I am trying to run a program (epsxe, a play station emulator) and I get:
libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And yet, if I look in /usr/lib64, I see libgtk-1.2.so.0 which links to libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1, which is also there.
So, I'm not quite sure what it is telling me. Why would it say the file is not there, when it is? More importantly, what can I do so that it sees the file? I have had this happen with other programs as well, but not really sure if it is the fault of the program, or something on my system.
I have multilib installed, have had it for a while. I updated everything to slackware current 64 bit two days ago, and I also downloaded the current multilib. AFAIK it's working because I'm using 23 bit wine, and it compiles and runs my windows programs fine.
ah, sorry, I haven't seen he's looking for the 32bit gtk-1 library, that isn't part of the standard compat32 set, but you can easily convert the slackware current package with
Code:
convertpkg-compat32 -i gtk+-1.2.10-i486-5.txz
and then install the resulting package.
EDIT: you will need to do the same with the glib-1 package.

Wow, that worked perfectly! I have a few other programs I've seen this happen to, I think I'll try to find them and see if I can likewise get them going.
