When I try running second life I receive this error:
bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I do have db installed as show by:
jnovek@euclid ~/mp3-out/second/SecondLife_1_10_3_4 $ ls /usr/lib | grep libdb-
libdb-1.so
libdb-4.2.a
libdb-4.2.la
libdb-4.2.so
libdb-4.3.a
libdb-4.3.la
libdb-4.3.so
I tried making a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so to lib/libdb-4.2.so in my Second Life directory... I noticed that the "secondlife" script points LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the "lib" directory in the Second Life folder.
Suggestions? Is this a 32-bit/64-bit issue? Gentoo has (IMO) become unnecessarily complex of late... I haven't really kept up with it. I have no idea if I even have 32-bit libraries installed.

Jason Sorta-kinda. First, make sure your kernel has 32-bit emulation on. AMD's will run 32-bit software while mainly in 64-bit mode. Next, emerge mplayer-bin. Not normal mplayer, mplayer-bin. That'll load any 32-bit libraries that you'll need. (Also, .wmv files you may have require the 32-bit mplayer) Third, reinstall Second Life completely from a fresh directory. If you have Midnight Commander emerged (emerge mc) you can do the reinstall w/o touching "tar" -- MC will copy over blank directories properly. |

Drake-- Thank you for your speedy response! Let me respond to each of your points one at a time. From: Drake Bacon Sorta-kinda. First, make sure your kernel has 32-bit emulation on. AMD's will run 32-bit software while mainly in 64-bit mode.
Already done, and I actually do run several programs in 32-bit mode since I can either only get them as binaries or I need extra functionality that the 32-bit version has (i.e. mplayer-bin) From: Drake Bacon
Next, emerge mplayer-bin. Not normal mplayer, mplayer-bin. That'll load any 32-bit libraries that you'll need. (Also, .wmv files you may have require the 32-bit mplayer)
I run mplayer-bin already, so that I can watch .wmv files. From: Drake Bacon
Third, reinstall Second Life completely from a fresh directory. If you have Midnight Commander emerged (emerge mc) you can do the reinstall w/o touching "tar" -- MC will copy over blank directories properly.
It is possible that I am not installing Second Life correctly -- I have been doing tar xjvpf Second_Life_blah_blah_blah.tar.bz2 and plopping it right in my home directory... does Second Life expect to be somewhere else? Jason |

Nope. You're doing it right.

Have you installed the 32 bit versions of libdb2? see: /263/c8/104507/1.html |

No I haven't. If you can tell me how to (correctly) do that in Gentoo, you get a cookie. I suspected that that is what I'd have to do, but the FAQ linked in the above thread confirms it. Jason |
