Need either to find libdbus-1.so.3 for x86_64 RHEL v6 or know what its linked to

Hi Guys,

1) Dell Latitude E6410, running RHEL v6.

2) Here's the uname -a:
[jzh@elemc001 thunderbird]$ uname -a
Linux elemc001 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 1 01:33:01 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

3) Here's what ./thunderbird (Thunderbird install) is currently giving me:
[jzh@elemc001 thunderbird]$ ./thunderbird
./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

4) I've had many similar errors (from ./thunderbird) to get to this point, but have managed to resolve them by finding appropriate RPMs or 64 bit libraries

5) Here's what the node's currently got for dbus (packages):
[root@elemc001 lib64]# rpm -qa | egrep -i dbus
eggdbus-0.6-3.el6.x86_64
dbus-x11-1.2.24-3.el6.x86_64
dbus-c++-0.5.0-0.10.20090203git13281b3.1.el6.x86_64
dbus-1.2.24-3.el6.x86_64
dbus-devel-1.2.24-3.el6.x86_64
dbus-qt-0.70-7.2.el6.x86_64
python-slip-dbus-0.2.11-1.el6.noarch
dbus-glib-0.86-5.el6.x86_64
dbus-libs-1.2.24-3.el6.x86_64
dbus-python-0.83.0-6.1.el6.x86_64
dbus-glib-devel-0.86-5.el6.x86_64

6) And here's what its currently got for /usr/lib64:
[root@elemc001 lib64]# pwd
/usr/lib64
[root@elemc001 lib64]# ls -aild *dbus*
925197 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Nov 21 20:45 dbus-1.0

923014 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 144976 Jan 28 2010 libwvdbus.so.4.6

7) I've searched for a solution both here and elsewhere on the 'net, but can't find anything appropriate

8) Any idea which RPM libdbus-1.so.3 is a part of, or, if its a sym link, what it should point to? Or anything else that might be useful?

Many thanks.

Cheers,

jzh

I don't know if this helps you:

The last version of both are not stable on my F11: Firefox crashes when I use my old profile (from version 3.5b but 32 bit); thunderbird 3.0b2 is unusable with my mailboxes, so I would use the 2.0.x (32 bit).

[Anyhow, your best bet it to try to install it (the 4.4.0-4) and ln -s it(ie

Code:

ln -s libstdc++.so* libstdc++.so.5

Or something, and hope it works. I used to do that whenever dependencies in whichever repo wouldn't be correct due to last minute packaging on rawhide.

Alternatively, you can add the 32-bit repository in itself via editing /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

and adding an entry, changing $basearch to i386.
Thanks for your advises,; I'l try them!

Hi Eddy1,

One of your comments / links led me to a Skype page, which referred to this library being in /usr/local/lib.
Went back to the 64 bit box, and found that the 64 bit library was in /lib64, and not /usr/lib64.
Hadn't previously realised that there was a /lib64 as well as a /usr/lib64, but probably should've done!
Then just had to do a whatprovides on the 64 bit library to be able to source a relevant 32 bit package.

So -- indirectly -- many thanks!

Cheers,

jzh

Thank you for the partial credit, it is very much appreciated. Just to let you know, I'm a linux newbie also.
I try to help if I can. If I can't, but have time I'll assist in search.

I'm glad it pointed you in the right direction.
