Resolving a dependency

Avelaval · 04-02-2005, 08:27 AM

I recently downloaded w3m from linuxpackages. When I try to run it I get the error

w3m: error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

How do I resolve this dependency?

You need the gc (garbage collector) package. You can download it from this hp webpage.

Use the ldd tool.

explode the pack into a directory and then go into it and use the ldd * on the bin and lib directories. You can make it pretty by piping the output to gawk.. print out column 4 I think and then greping it for "not found".

Whatever libs you come up with you can search on google or use the MANIFIEST.bz2 file on the slack cd. It cantains a list of every single file that packages install.
