Bug 146873 – evince-0.5.5 fails because of missing link libexpat.so.0

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Philipp Weber 2006-09-08 13:06:51 UTC]

I used to do a "emerge sync" and a "emerge -e world" because i havent updated the system for a while. It worked fine dispite of a few smaller problems.
When my PC was about to build "app-text/evince-0.5.5" it got the following error:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evince-0.5.5/work/evince-0.5.5/properties'

make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/evince-0.5.5/work/evince-0.5.5/shell'

!!! ERROR: app-text/evince-0.5.5 failed.

!!! compile failure
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

The error was due to "dbus-binding-tool"
which returns the above message when being run:
dbus-binding-tool: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I fixed it by entering "ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.0 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0"
(which is obviously not entirely correct but works fine)

Is this just my Computer or has anbody else got that problem?

Here is my "emerge --info":
