Simple problem, I think, with one of the EVMS packages. After this command completed without errors: emerge -v evms lvm-user lvm2 raidtools I got these errors when I tried to run the evms commands: lurch conf.d # evms evms: error while loading shared libraries: libevms-2.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lurch conf.d # evmsgui evmsgui: error while loading shared libraries: libevms-2.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lurch conf.d # updatedb lurch conf.d # locate libevms /usr/lib/libevms.a /usr/lib/libevms.so /lib/libevms-2.2.so.0.2 /lib/libevms.so I ran ldconfig and the gui started perfectly: lurch conf.d # ldconfig lurch conf.d # evmsgui emerge unmerge emvs emerge -v emvs >>> /etc/evms.conf >>> /etc/evms.conf.sample --- /etc/init.d/ >>> /etc/init.d/evms * Presently gentoo-sources-2.4.22 has basic support for evms2, * but does NOT support some of the more advanced features. >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies... /var/lib/init.d/depcache: line 24: 192.168.168.4: command not found >>> sys-fs/evms-2.2.2 merged. >>> Recording sys-fs/evms in "world" favorites file... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. real 2m1.048s user 1m31.130s sys 0m13.547s lurch conf.d # evmsgui evmsgui: error while loading shared libraries: libevms-2.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lurch conf.d # ldconfig lurch conf.d # evmsgui And it works again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge evms 2. run evms or evmsgui 3. Actual Results: gave this result: evms: error while loading shared libraries: libevms-2.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: No error, the program should have run. lurch conf.d # emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-amd64-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 x86_64 4 Gentoo Base System version 1.4.10 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo ftp://ftp.mirrors.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa amd64 apache2 apm avi berkdb cdr crypt cscope cups dvd dvdr encode esd flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib joystick jpeg kde libg++ libwww lirc mad matroska mikmod motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses net nogcj nvidia oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl tcpd tiff transcode truetype usb xinerama xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Not a kernel bug, throwing back to wranglers to properly file.
emvs is part of the x86-kernel herd.
fixed in portage. thanks.
