Summary: pppd needs libcrypt.so.1

Description 1 2002-06-25 06:39:53 UTC
pppd on the install CD ( 1.2/gentoo-ix86-1.2.iso ) is not functional because it
refuses to work without libcrypt.so.1 :

> pppd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1:
> cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A workaround is

# ln -s /lib/libcrypto.* /lib/libcrypt.so.1

(causes a warning and may not work if you really need crypt).
Or extract libcrypt.so.1 from the tarball.

Is this still true of the 1.4_rc1 live cd?
Comment 2 1 2002-10-20 12:45:48 UTC
libcrypt is on the 1.4_rc1 CD and pppd works for me now.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
