Hello all...

I'm not a big fan of xmms, so I'm trying out a couple other players, namely amarok and juk. I'm running FC3. Neither was installed on my system so I recently installed both. When I try to start juk from a command line I get the following error:

juk: error while loading shared libraries: libid3-3.8.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had to install libid3-3.8.so.2 as a dependancy for juk, so it is installed:

[root@optiplex Incoming]# whereis libid3-3.8.so.2
libid3-3.8.so: /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.2

Has anyone seen this error before? Also, when I try to play any songs in Amarok, nothing happens. If I double click a song in the left pane, it says "some URLs could not be loaded" at the bottom. I do have working sound and can play my mp3s with xmms fine. Also, my mp3s are on a mounted share on a W2K3 server. Thanks in advance.

just a guess, but did you run ldconfig (as root) after installing libid3?

I hadn't done that, but when I try to run ldconfig, I get a command not found. Any other ideas?

To run ldconfig, you need to be root, because its located in /sbin which is a path thats out of bounds to ordinary users.

I'm running it as root and still getting the same error.

If you changed to root using "su" then you don't inherit roots full APTH, so you have to do /sbin/ldconfig, if you change to root however, using "su -" you should be able to just run it as "ldconfig".

if this is the case it seems broken to me and should be fixed
try exporting PATH from /root/.bashrc
or in your userhame/.bashrc or .bash_profile you can put a section

I ran ldconfig successfully, but I still got the same error when trying to run juk.

type this cmd as root

echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf

Thanks for the response Boow. I ran the command as root but am still getting the same error when I try to run Juk.
