Bug 324809 – www-client/chromium-bin expects libx264.so.93

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Marcin Kryczek 2010-06-20 12:13:55 UTC]

after upgrading x264 to version 0.0.20100605, chromium-bin keeps showing on terminal: "Unable to load the real plugin libx264.so.93: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

my emerge --info:

If you have dev-libs/elfutils installed, can you provide the output of:
$ readelf -d /path/to/chrome/blob | grep NEEDED
?

(even though both the error and the fix seems to make sense)

Oops. At least on chromium, it looks like libx264.so is linked through libavcodec. Might be the same thing for chromium-bin. Is it installed with its own libavcodec or does it uses the system's one ?

[Comment 3 Bernard Cafarelli 2010-06-28 19:46:19 UTC]

Which version of chromium-bin do you run? -9999 or 5.0.376.0_p44230? With 5.0 I  can not reproduce this problem

[Comment 4 Bernard Cafarelli 2010-07-08 07:59:39 UTC]

Works for me with 6.0.451.0_p51005 and libx264.so.98, please test and reopen if it does not fix the problem for you. Thanks!
