Bug 139378 – media-video/vlc-0.8.5 library error in libwxwidgets: can't find wrong version of libcdio

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Christian Conkle 2006-07-05 16:30:43 UTC]

VLC fails to load its GUI with the following message:

$ vlc -v --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache -l | grep wx
VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus
[00000001] main vlc warning: cannot load module [00000001] main vlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so' (libiso9660.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

As reported by others, this would indicate that VLC was built against an old version of libcdio before version bumps around 0.77... except that this isn't the case.  I've just rebuilt VLC, a number of times in fact.  (I also tried installing the old version of libcdio, with the incredible result that the same build of VLC complained about not having libiso9660.so.5!)  Messing around with symlinks (ln -s libiso9660.so.5 libiso9660.so.4) reveals that libwxwidgets_plugin.so also wants libcdio.so.5 (and refuses to use version 7).  Another bug report suggested running scanelf on the offending library:

$ scanelf -n /usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so
 TYPE   NEEDED FILE
ET_DYN libpthread.so.0,libvcdinfo.so.0,libiso9660.so.5,libcdio.so.7,libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0,libwx_gtk2u_html-2.6.so.0,libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0,libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0,libwx_baseu_xml-2.6.so.0,libwx_baseu_net-2.6.so.0,libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0,libstdc++.so.6,libm.so.6,libgcc_s.so.1,libc.so.6 /usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so

Which seems incredible to me--those are the correct versions (which do exist on the system), and yet it complains about not having the 'wrong' ones.  What's going on here, and why is it asking for a different version of the library?
