Installed the latest claws mail and it now will not run

[Lyn]

This is what I get when running from a terminal.

claws-mail: error while loading shared libraries: libenchant.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[hata_ph]

What version of VL you are using?
What version of claw-mail you have installed?
Do you have enchant installed?

[Lyn]

using the standard 7.0 64bit version, and the version of claws-mail is 3.92 enchant 1.60 - down graded that to 1.50 and now I have claws-mail!   So looks like that was the problem.

Marked as solved

[hata_ph]

there is a 64bit version of claw-mail and enchant available in the 64bit repo, why you want to install the 32bit version?

[Lyn]

as I have said elsewhere I have only enabled 64 bit repositories.

I noticed a few i586 packages, but very few and not those. There are dependencies listed that are i586. Still, a repo that has them would have to be enabled for them to be pulled in (but 'x86_64' > 'i586').

Available repos have gotten to be a long list, and something could be overlooked.

How about
grep ^SOURCE /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc

show us your /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc

I am not sure why you can install the 32bit packages on your 64bit OS. But just to inform you almost all 32bit packages will not work on a 64bit OS unless you are using the multilib version. So you have to remove the 32bit version and reinstall with the 64bit version.

PS: Pls let us know if you found any 32bit packages in the 64bit repo

[Lyn]

well all the 32 bit apps installed were via gslapt so yes there are loads in the 64 bit repositories.
