evolution if compiled with earlier galeon html component support (1.20 version) will then fail to run with the following error message. evolution: error while loading shared libraries: libgal.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory my current libgal is actually libgal.so.21 because of a recent galeon upgrade... this was done through portage system... Debian folks have been complaining about this as well...
A workaround involves setting the libgal symlink manually for me. fraterm root # ls -al /usr/lib/libgal* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1931722 Dec 26 20:47 /usr/lib/libgal.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 843 Dec 26 20:47 /usr/lib/libgal.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 26 20:47 /usr/lib/libgal.so -> li bgal.so.21.1.0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12 Dec 27 07:57 /usr/lib/libgal.so.20 -> libgal.so.21 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 26 20:47 /usr/lib/libgal.so.21 -> libgal.so.21.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1350894 Dec 26 20:47 /usr/lib/libgal.so.21.1. 0 So that I can check my email.
Almost forgot Version Info. Galeon Version 1.2.7 Evolution Version 1.0.8 my arch is set to ~x86 so I'm getting what i deserve :)
another resolution is recompiling the failing app. We do provide one backwards link. Don't think theres much more we can do about it.
see above
