gtkam will not start after upgrade [SOLVED]

[Birdman]

I am using 5.9 and ran an upgrade yesterday (the first for several months) One of the issues I now have is that gtkam has stopped working. When I run from the CL I get

Code:

avocet:/~
alan:$ /usr/bin/gtkam: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried removing the package and then reinstalling it. What is the best way of resolving the dependency issue? Sorry I am a bit rusty on this sort of thing.

Thanks.

I am runnig 6.0 so your package version may be different but this is what i get

Code:

root:# grep -R libltdl.so.3 /var/log/packages/
/var/log/packages/libtool-1.5.24-i486-1:usr/lib/libltdl.so.3.1.5

so a "slapt-get --install --reinstall libtool" should fix the dep for you.

HTH,

Thanks for the tip - but sadly it did not work 

I have tried removing the current gtkam and libtools and replacing with the older version, but this did not work either. I now have the current versions of both installed and the same error.

you may need to create a symlink

Code:

root:# ls -la /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-07-28 06:58 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 -> libltdl.so.3.1.5*

root:# ls -la /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-07-28 06:58 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 -> libltdl.so.3.1.5*

Herein lies the problem - I have no library in /usr/lib/ that begins liblt  I have no idea why as the libtools package is installed and no error messages are produced on installation.

[uelsk8s]

where did you get your libtools package?
what is the complete name of the libtools package?
what does the output of the code below produce?

Code:

grep libltdl /var/log/packages/libtool*

I also have recently done an slapt-get --upgrade and thought I'd check if I had the same problem with gtkam, and it turns out I do.   During the upgrade I went from version 0.1.14 to 0.1.15.  After the upgrade I get this when I run from the command line.

ken:$ gtkam
gtkam: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried reinstalling from gslapt, this had worked with wbar when I had a similar problem, but it did not work this time.

I tried downgrading this did not work either, and generated the same error.

I am also showing the same libtools package as Birdman.

Just thought I'd let you know that this problem with Gtkam is not isolated to birdmans machine.

[uelsk8s]

can you check to see if "/opt/gnome2/lib" is in your /etc/ld.so.conf dir, and if there is a libltdl.so.3 in /opt/gnome2/lib.

if not, a symlink from /opt/gnome2/lib/libltdl.so.7.1.2 to /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 may fix the problem.

Let us know,
Uelsk8s

[stretchedthin]

can you check to see if "/opt/gnome2/lib" is in your /etc/ld.so.conf dir, and if there is a libltdl.so.3 in /opt/gnome2/lib.

This is what I found in /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/usr/lib/qt/lib
/lib

Then I checked /opt/gnome2lib there was no libltdl.so.3
What it does contain is this...libltdl.a, libltdl.la, libltdl.so, libltdl.so.7, libltdl.so.7.1.2

[stretchedthin]

I was able to get gtkam working.
I downgraded libtool back to version 1.5.24-i486-1 in gslapt and gtkam starts up again.

I could not figure out where to set up the symbolic link you where talking about. My own noobiness I'm sure.
I tried using gtkfind searching for any file containing  libltdl.so.3 but this is all I found...

/var/log/removed_packages/libtool-1.5.24-i486-1-upgraded-2008-08-30,01:58:38
/var/log/removed_scripts/libtool-1.5.24-i486-1-upgraded-2008-08-30,01:58:38
/home/ken/.xsession-errors

So then I thought to downgrade libtool rather than just reinstalling the new version and it worked.
If I'm guessing right the new gtkam must have been built on the old libtool.

[uelsk8s]

the way to make the symlink is

Code:

ln -s /opt/gnome2/lib/libltdl.so.7.1.2 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3

[stretchedthin]

Hey that worked.  Now that its morning I can see that code was given earlier. Sorry I missed it.
Thanks for the help. Maybe Birdman can mark this one solved.

Excellent  Many thanks for the help from stretchedthin and uelsk8s

Sorry, I'm coming to this late - saw the messages a few days ago but didn't have time to check....

I built the current version of Gtkam, was built against the older libtool package. So I thought I would rebuild after upgrading.

I have essentially the same problem in building Gtkam against the new libtool. Which makes me think that the updated package has a few problems. I also notice that VL 6.0 uses the older libtools package. While I can correct using the symlink suggestion, it might be a good idea to look at the newer libtool package. The older version doesn't use /opt at all - all files are in /usr/lib. I would imagine that other packages may hit the same problem....
