libraries and packages

yakoub · 08-14-2013, 02:42 AM

given an error about missing library, how do i figure out which package contains it ?
for example : libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0
is there a special tool for that ?

Raveriux · 08-14-2013, 02:49 AM

Examples, searching for a file, e.g. libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0

Debian online search http://packages.debian.org/search?se...ridge-2.0.so.0
>> http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libatk-bridge2.0-0 >>
> Links for libatk-bridge2.0-0 >> Download Source Package at-spi2-atk >
>> [at-spi2-atk_2.5.3.orig.tar.xz] (+ patch [at-spi2-atk_2.5.3-2.debian.tar.gz])

And "rpm pbone" http://rpm.pbone.net/ >> Search > Advanced Search :
: libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 > Tick e.g. Fedora 19, and click the Search button >
> ~at-spi2-atk-2.8.1-1.fc19.i686.rpm :
Click the file, and the next page will appear >> Source RPM :
at-spi2-atk-2.8.1-1.fc19.src.rpm

yakoub,

what do you want to install? Did you check if it is already at http://slackbuilds.org/ ?

Petri Kaukasoina · 08-14-2013, 03:46 AM

There is no need to install libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 to Slackware from Debian, Fedora or slackbuilds.org because a Slackware installation already has it. If the poster has decided not to install everything, he should know what he is doing.

By the way, it seems that the slackpkg man page contains an error in the usage example, see below. The command should be "slackpkg file-search libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0", not just search.

Code:

      file-search
            You can search the official Slackware packages for any file in the
            Slackware distribution.  Do you need a strange library?  Use file-
            search to find it.

                 # slackpkg search filename

            All packages with matching "filename" will be shown, thus you  can
            see  whether  the  packages  are installed or not; if not, you can
            download and install them with other slackpkg actions.

Why would anybody do that ?

Post #3 is about an easy method to decide the name of a source package,
when a file is used as as search criteria.

actually slacpkg file-search is much more easy for Slackware case

Didier Spaier · 08-14-2013, 04:31 AM

Code:

grep libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 /var/log/{packages,scripts}/*

or

Code:

grep -r libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 /var/log/{packages,scripts}

Output is empty, thus it's not shipped in an installed Slackware package in my system.

PS To check all files included in packages in a full Slackware installation, expand e.g. http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackwa...e/MANIFEST.bz2

You will see other MANIFEST.bz2 files in other packages' directories: /extra, /testing, /patches, /sources and /pasture case occurring.

this is not helpfull because the name of debian or fedora package may not be the same as slackware .
many software in debian are partitioned into several packages while Slackware would have a single package for the whole software .

audacious: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please look carefully, and watch that it is a method to decide the source package name.

audacious is already included in Slackware, why build it again?

Furthermore it compiles OK on Slackware-14.0, I just checked.

Blind guess: maybe you tried to compile an alien version (not shipped in Slackware)?

as Petri already pointed out above, if you decide not to do a Slackware full install, the only one supported, consider that you're basically on your own.

said that, on my full installation I got

Code:

# slackpkg file-search libatk-bridge

Looking for libatk-bridge in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows the packages that contains "libatk-bridge" file.

[ installed ] - at-spi2-atk-2.8.1-x86_64-1

You can search specific packages using "slackpkg search package".

So that after you have installed ffmpeg, you can play .m4a files. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...7/#post3971239
