Hello,

I am trying to install qiv 2.0. I don't get errors during
the installation, but the test after the installation fails:

./qiv: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_imlib.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-- Test Failed --

The same error occurs when I try to start qiv. This
error is strange to me, as in /usr/local/lib, there is
a symbolic link libgdk_imlib.so.1 to libgdk_imlib.so.1.9.14,
which exists, is readable and seems to be the right libary.
Also, it seems like qiv seaches this path, as in the
Makefile, there's a line:

LIBS = `imlib-config --libs-gdk`

And when I run this command from the shell, it prints

-L/usr/local/lib -lgdk_imlib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm

I don't know anything about Makefile syntax, but this
looks correct to me.

Has anybody an idea what is wrong?

Does your library-loader know, where to find libgdk_imlib.so.1 ?
This means - is /usr/local/lib listed in the file /etc/ld.so.conf and did you run ldconfig after making changes to that file?

That did it. I didn't know about that file. Thank you.
