Description Michael S Costello (MiscRat) 2002-12-27 02:08:36 UTC
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.

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.
