Bug 261496 – games-arcade/gish-demo wants libopenal.so.0, seems to work with .so.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Colin Macdonald 2009-03-06 21:01:50 UTC]

$ gish
./gish: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But a symlink from libopenal.so.1 seems to work for me.  I'll attach an ebuild patch.

This keeps the horrible symlink hack local in /opt/gish-demo.

I put -amd64 because I'm not use if linking from /usr/lib is the right thing to do: I'll let someone else work that out.

can you re-roll the patch so it's not reversed please?

oops sorry about that

Wwith $(get_libdir) in place of (lib/lib64) it's even amd64 compatible

[Comment 5 Colin Macdonald 2009-03-07 01:30:56 UTC]

re: comment #4.  Really?  On my system $(get_libdir) is /lib/ but the symlink should be to /usr/lib/

[Comment 6 emerald 2009-03-07 07:53:40 UTC]

How about /usr/$(get_libdir)/ ?
