Description Mickaël Sibelle 2005-11-27 04:02:31 UTC

After I update "media-libs/flac" to the latest version available (1.1.2-r3)
Amarok couldn't be launched anylonger.

The message was the following :
$> amarok
amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The file libFLAC.so.6 doesn't exists anylonger.
But there is a symling named "libFLAC.so" which points to "libFLAC.so.7".

I have created a symlink from "libFLAC.so.6" to "libFLAC.so" :
$> ln -s libFLAC.so libFLAC.so.6

And now I can launch amarok, and listen to FLAC files.

It's my first bug report here.
Maybe I should contact the amarok developpers ?

Who told you they are compatible?! Run revdep-rebuild...

Creating the symlink allowed me to launch amarok, so I though there was a
configuration issue.

I have used Gentoo for one month.
No one told me a thing, I'm trying to take part of the project for my first time.
Could you be more tolerant ?

I though "emerge --update" would manage this kind of dependencies.
I will read revdep-rebuild doc.
Thank you for this tool.
