Bug 15259 – gnome-2.2 has some issues with library symlinks, I think.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brandon Low (RETIRED) 2003-02-07 00:42:06 UTC]

<lostlogic> hmm... gnome-2.2 doesn't werk right.
<lostlogic> lost lib # find . -iname '*.so' > ~/temp.libs
<lostlogic> lost lib # find . -iname '*.so.0' |grep -v -f ~/temp.libs
<lostlogic> doing that shows why.

And then symlinking all thos .so.0 files to appropriate .so files makes it work
again.

Doh there is more to it than that... apparently other libraries don't have the appropriate plain .so symlinks... libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so being another one I just added on my box.

no more reports, looks like a local problem to me
