1.9.0.17 doesn't work

Okay, first of all I'm running Open SuSe 10.1. The previous several versions have run amazingly well. However, when I try to run 1.9.0.17, I get the following:

bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Anyone able to help me here? I'm desperate to get back on.

You're missing the runtime libraries for libdb (The berkely database libraries). They should be available as RPM's.

And... do I know you on another forum?

This is the only forum for SL I post to. Although that doesn't mean you don't know me from somewhere else entirely.

And thanks for the tip. I'll look for those when I get back from my evening shift (thank the Goddess it's only 2 1/2 hours).

Err, try installing libdb-4.2? It doesn't seem to be bundled with it. It would seem the change is they added a new lib (libaprutil-1.so.0), and that lib is built against libdb-4.2.

apt-get install libdb4.2 would do the trick on debian. No idea on SuSe.

No problems at all. Debian stable. Just unpacked the archive, adjusted permissions and ran the start script.

I get :


:~/SecondLife_1_9_0_17$ ./secondlife
bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I run a file search, I find the allegedly missing library in /lib.

So, what's up?

Ubuntu Breezy- amd64 kernel

You might need to install the 32 Bit compatibility library, too.

Could you tell me what the filename is so I can look for it in synaptic. How do you install 32 bit libs on a 64 bit machine? I know there's a lib32 directory. I don't know where to get the file, though.

Sorry, I only know about SuSE, there is a separate RPM for each 32 bit lib .. maybe another Ubuntu user knows? Anyone?

I manually extracted the libs into the /lib32 directory and it still isn't working. Even rebuilt the symlink myself. Thanks for your thoughts, though.

Here's how I got it to work:

sudo linux32 apt-get install uuid

then

linux32 /path/to/secondlife.sh


Someone please tell me if I've mucked something up. It seems to work,

I got the same

Just go to Yast -> Software management and search for libdb, checking the box that says "Provide"; then install the version 4.2 (it offers way too many versions, the one you need is 4.2, though I installed them all because I need other versions for other apps)

Dirty hack alert!

If all else fails, try this:

cd SecondLife_1_9_0_17/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so libdb-4.2.so


This Worked For Me(TM), YMMV, no warranty, etc, etc. My motivation for trying it was mostly laziness, I use a source-based distro & couldn't be bothered to configure the db build to create the necessary compatibility simlinks, if that's even an option. I'm told the db build is a pain anyway.

As to the above hack's chances of working, I'd say don't do it if /usr/lib/libdb.so is a symlink to an older version than libdb-4.2.so, only do it if its newer.

I had the same problem. I realized that the version I had was libdb-4.3.so and I tried ln -s /usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so libdb-4.2 and it worked. Do not know what may happen because of this atleast I got this to work. Can anyone post the libdb-4.2.so So i dont have to do this.
