Akonadi - shared library error

i just finished to make a fresh install of -current using a usb stick, all things are good, except the fact that akonadi server self-test appears every time i login, after a few relogins and reboots seeing that will not disappear i checked the .xsession-errors file from $HOME and i notice something strange:

Code:

/usr/bin/akonadi_control: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options-mt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i checked http://slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=x86_64 and it seems boost was upgraded. maybe akonadi needs a library that the new version of boost doesn't have anymore? :) i hope Pat find a fix to this cuz is very annoying that pop-up.. :banghead:

Edit later:

Code:

# locate libboost_program_options

/usr/lib64/libboost_program_options.so

/usr/lib64/libboost_program_options.so.1.41.0

lol, i kinda fix it myself..

Code:

# cd /usr/lib64/

# cp libboost_program_options.so.1.41.0 libboost_program_options-mt.so.1.41.0

# ln -s libboost_program_options-mt.so.1.41.0 libboost_program_options-mt.so

now that pop-up has disappeared.. :)

Thats a bad way to fix it.
FWIW i told Pat about it right after i upgraded so it should be fixed properly soon.

bad or not, it works for now :) i`m waiting for a rebuilt of akonadi, or boost to make things work properly.

why did i copy and make a symlink adding a "-mt"? i checked the boost package from another distro (arch), and the libboost_program_options.so.1.41.0 file was identical with the libboost_program_options-mt.so.1.41.0 file. i`m not a developer, but that must mean something :)

"removepkg akonadi" will do ;)

That's what I have been doing since 4.2.4 :D

Seems that the boost script needs to change --layout=system to --layout=tagged

# --layout=tagged will add the "-mt" suffix for multithreaded libraries

# --layout=system no longer adds the -mt suffix for multi-threaded libs.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but aren't the built libraries multithreaded regardless now?
Assuming that's the case, then the "-mt" suffix is just cosmetic, and as such, the better fix would be to simply rebuild akonadi, right?

There ya go:

l/akonadi-1.2.1-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.

Thanks for all the posts... I had to rebuild one of my packages (LDView) that stopped working after the latest update from -current.
