Bug 39945 – bnr2 unable to find libX11.so.6 when run (ldd can't find it either)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Douglas Mayle 2004-01-31 01:17:49 UTC]

libX11.so.6 is in /usr/X11R6/lib which is in the ld.so.conf.  I've tried putting it into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, and I've tried making symbolic links inside bnr2's bin and lib directories, but no matter what I do, niether ldd, nor bnr2 are able to find and recognize the library.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add ~amd64 to the keywords for any bnr2 ebuild
2. emerge it
3. attemt to run bnr2

Actual Results:  
the program quit because libX11.so.6 was not found

Expected Results:  
Started up

works here with xfree-4.3.99.902-r2, might be a problem with xfree-4.3.0-r?...

install xorg-x11 and report back if the problem still exists for you

[Comment 3 Simon Strandman 2004-05-15 06:46:44 UTC]

I have the same problem here with libX11.so.0 and xorg-x11!

When I try to start gnome for example I get this error:
gnome-session: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

nxsty@isidor nxsty $ ldd /usr/bin/gnome-session | grep libX11
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40039000)
        libX11.so.0 => not found

The strange thing is that the file actually is there:

isidor nxsty# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a     /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so    /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.0

And /usr/X11R6/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf. But ldconfig wont find it:

isidor nxsty # ldconfig -v | grep libX11
        libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2

isidor nxsty # strings /etc/ld.so.cache | grep libX11
libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
libX11.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so

First I thought that libX11.so.0 was a broken symlink or something like that but it isn't. I have tried to run revdep-rebuild and it rebuilds everything that depends on libX11.so.0 and I have also tried to rebuild xorg-x11, but the problem remains!
