I'm running the GNOME 2 packages, and after emerging the latest version of libzvt, gnome-terminal will no longer start. It gives the following error message: bash-2.05a$ gnome-terminal gnome-terminal: error while loading shared libraries: libzvt-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ldconfig reports no such file found. vito root # ldconfig -v | grep libzvt libzvt-2.0.so.0 -> libzvt-2.0.so.0.0.1 libzvt.so.2 -> libzvt.so.2.3.0 Creating this symlink resolves the problem: vito lib # ln -sf libzvt-2.0.so.0.0.1 libzvt-2.so.0 Related packages: x11-libs/libzvt-2.0.1 x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.0.0
oh darn, this bug strikes again, try "emerge -C libzvt; emerge libzvt" and see, that should recreate the broken link
I'm ccing you here drobbins, this is the same bug as with the libpng update
Okay, I tried the "emerge -C libzvt; emerge libzvt" trick, and this caused the link to be created, and consequently gnome-terminal started. Sounds fixed to me.
