• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description MATSUI Tetsushi 2007-09-02 04:58:59 UTC]

iconv fails to start with message "Library not loaded".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libiconv-1.11
2. run iconv


Actual Results:  
% iconv --version
dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/bin/iconv
  Reason: Incompatible library version: iconv requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0
Trace/BPT trap


Expected Results:  
% iconv --version
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11)

There is no $EPREFIX/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib.
There is only $EPREFIX/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib symlink to ../../lib/libiconv.dylib.
$EPREFIX/lib/libiconv.dylib is symlink to libiconv.2.4.0.dylib.

The compatible version of libiconv.2.4.0.dylib is 7.0.0 as required.
Thus iconv is refering another libiconv.
It is highly probable that the another one is /usr/lib/libiconv.2.2.0.dylib,
because its compatible version is 5.0.0 appeared in the error message.

I confirm that adding symlink $EPREFIX/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib pointing to
../../lib/libiconv.2.dylib solves the problem.

I have a feeling that it is similar to the bug #190140 I reported.

I don't think it's related.  At the moment I'm testing a fix.  It needs some polishing up.  Thanks for the bug.

I mean they seem both caused by moving dylib file around without enough care.

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2007-09-02 10:11:04 UTC]

moving libraries around is a hell on Darwin.  Sorry.

Please sync and emerge portage 2.2.00.7724.  After that reemerge libiconv and check if the object is correct afterwards

I've done sync, emerge portage and emerge libiconv.
The place of the libiconv iconv pointing to is changed to $EPREFIX/lib/.
iconv is working now. Thank you very much.

ok, thanks!
