Bug 17414 – licq fails to run after emerge: missing library

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Darren Davison 2003-03-12 18:18:05 UTC]

after a successful emerge of licq, the following occurs when running.. 
 
darren@garbo darren $ licq & 
[1] 2390 
23:08:24: [WRN] Licq: Ignoring stale lockfile (pid 2387) 
23:08:24: [ERR] Unable to load plugin (qt-gui): /usr/lib/licq/licq_qt-gui.so: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory. 
[1]+  Exit 1                  licq 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run licq from the command line 
Actual Results:  
see above 

Expected Results:  
started 

this can be fixed (or worked around; not sure which) by symlinking the licq_kde-gui.so 
as follows: 
 
root@garbo licq # pwd 
/usr/lib/licq 
root@garbo licq # ln -s licq_kde-gui.so licq_qt-gui.so 
root@garbo licq # ls -al
