Hi all, i am running SuSe 10.0... I know that I need to link to the libdb-4.2.so file but i want to know if what i am putting into Konsole is correct before i hit enter lol... i ran a search and got the location of the file already so i know that part is correct (assuming the rest is lol)

CODE
ghost@linux:~/SecondLife_1_9_0_21> ./secondlife
bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot o pen shared object file: No such file or directory
ghost@linux:~/SecondLife_1_9_0_21> ./secondlife # ln -s /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/libdb-4.2.so

The libdb you are linking to looks like it might be one intended specifically for openoffice.org. You would be better off installing a global version of libdb IMHO, although what you are proposing might almost work!

What you should do is:

ln -s /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/libdb-4.2.so lib/

so that the link is created in the secondlife library directory.

Note my point above: this is a really hacky fix. The "proper" way would be to install a global libdb-4.2
