Need help: Error on start gdm.rc

[Xuan Phan]

After installing Ximian GNOME 1.4 GTK Library
B6852BA+B6848BA, I got the error:
"/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk_imlib.sl.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc[103]: 9025 Abort(coredump)"
upon "/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc start".

Hi,
please check:
1. Does the file exist?
2. Is the location included in $SHLIB_PATH
3. Has everything compiled/linked ok?

Hi Peter,
1) The file /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk_imlib.sl.1 does not exist.
2) Yes, gdm.rc has the line [export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/gnome/lib]
3) Installation B6852BA+B6848BA was completed with ERROR due to a lot of files do not exist such as *.wav files. But, I really don't know how important they are.

I did try to follow all installation instructions, but there might be somethings I missed.

I hope the missing file can point to something.

Thanks for your response.

Hi Xuan,

Look in the install log to see if there are any errors. Also find out if these bundles have other dependencies.

cheers!

Xuan,
all pre-req have to be successfully installed before you install any other part.

If the shared lib is missing then you have to find out where it should have been installed and get this part fixed. Resolving that issue will then most likely resolve your current error.

Hi All,
Thanks for every one's help.
It's working now after I re-downloaded the file to different directory and re-installed.
