Unknown to me, I would to remove it. Must be a glitch in your download process.

so what to do?

Sorry, cant help you further. You should really familiarize yourself with your distro. Certainly there is an easy way to get it from Slack.
Alternatively you can get it from another distro and use ldconfig to integrate it to your system.

Grab a download of a recent BLFS (Beyond Linux from Scratch) book.
It will have a link to download the librsvg source and instructions on compiling it. (In the Gnome section)

op i'll google for it
and where should i put that lib in the lib folder

Create symlink named 'librsvg-2.so.2' in usr/lib pointing to 'librsvg-2.so.2.6.5'
Then run ldconfig. Also see 'man ldconfig'

millusionist · 12-25-2004, 12:44 PM

ok

symlink srry that is beyond my intelligence i think, i'm just a noob
but no worries i can find it all on google thanks emerson thank you alot

millusionist · 12-25-2004, 12:53 PM

found it and i made a symlink but idconfig isn't a command and man idconfig isn't in my linux version slack 10
is that symlink in /usr/lib or in /home/usr/lib
and idconfig doesn't do a thing the app won't work

kevinalm · 12-25-2004, 04:39 PM

ldconfig, (LDCONFIG only lowwercase) parses /etc/ld.so.conf and if necessary updates /etc/ld.so.cache, which is a machine readable "index" of the dynamically linkable libraries available on your system. /etc/ld.so.conf is a text file with a list of directories to search. /lib and /usr/lib are searched regardless, iirc.

Did you download and compile the library or find an rpm (or whatever package slack uses)?

millusionist · 12-25-2004, 04:48 PM

ok it worked but now i need libcroco.so.2 but i can't download it linux says /home not writeable what now?
please help me i've been searching and typing all day for getting it right
