Bug 31635 – MPlayer 1.0pre2 cant locate libdirectfb-0.9.so.12

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2003-10-20 17:28:17 UTC]

After emergeing DirectFB mplayer cannot find libdirectfb-0.9.so.12 which is
suposed to be in /usb/lib. Mplayer gives the error:

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-0.9.so.12: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

upon trying to start it, However there are two easy workarounds, one of which
i've tried and that is:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libdirectfb-0.9.so.19 libdirectfb-0.9.so.12

Mplayer now starts normally..

The other one is apperantly to re-emerge mplayer after emergeing DirectFB

run `revdep-rebuild --soname libdirectfb-0.9.so.12`

directfb has gone through many api changes in the 0.9.x series so you often
have to rebuild packages when you update directfb

Yes, but the problem here isnt that this is some unsolvable bug, there is
already a workaround, (three now) but that this should be done automatically.
Or at least added as info after the DirectFB ebuild "This will break foo,bar
to fix it do yadayadayada" something like that.

i dont see the workaround you're refering to ...

if your solution is `ln -s` then that is wrong ... just because they've got
the same name now doesnt mean the api hasnt changed ;)

well mplayer does work afterwards and it didnt before, cant speak for the
effectiveness of DirectFB though.
