Description aj 2003-01-30 17:25:48 UTC

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: 


giFT crashed on startup because it is looking for libMagick.so.5 and there is no
such animal.

imagemagick-5.5.3.2 seems to setup libMagick.so --> libMagic-5.5.3.so.0.0.0


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge gift-cvs-0.10.0 
2. % giFT

Actual Results:  
giFT: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.5: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  
giFTy workyness


Workaround:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libMagick.so /usr/lib/libMagick.so.5

But really, the giFT ebuild should either change the name/version of the library
it references or provide a similar symlink.

imagemagick-5.4.9.1-r1 already creates this symblink

Comment 2 aj 2003-01-31 19:51:02 UTC

But apparently, imagemagick-5.5.3.2 does *not*.

Hence the bug.
