Description of problem: I've a new fresh install of Fedora Core 4, with all packages installed from the DVD iso. I've installed irssi with yum who get it from the extra's reps. When trying to load module script, i'm getting this error: Irssi: Error loading module script/core: /usr/lib/irssi/modules/libscript_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I figured out that i should try to compile it myselves to se what error messages i got. Here is the result: http://idarlund.stud.hive.no/make_error_irssi_FC4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): irssi 0.8.9-7 from "extras" Additional info: It may be an easy solution to this, eg. let us know what package contains libscript_core.so :)
A friend of me was the first to discover this bug. And the first to fix it, hehe ;) Here is what we did: 1) when we tryed to load script module we got an error that libscript_core.so didn't exist 2) since he is a curious person he just tryed /load aaa, then he got this strange message; libaaa_core.so was not found. 3) This seemed pretty strange so he desided to take a look in the /usr/lib/irssi/modules/ folder to see what files it contained, we found libfe_perl.so and libperl_core.so. 4) You've probably figured out by now what we did; /load perl :) as simply as that. Irssi loaded: 22:06 -!- Irssi: Loaded module perl/core 22:06 -!- Irssi: Loaded module perl/fe 5) /script load my_1337_script.pl :) Anyway.. we don't know yet why the compiling didn't work. And to the Fedora team; why didn't FC4-extras-irssi load the perl module after the first install? It did in the dag repo for FC3.. Hope this helps for all the other peoples that get the same errors as we got. Btw. Sorry my bad english. Hope you all atleast understand it =)
Created attachment 115853 [details] Irssi compiling with gcc4 To compile irssi with gcc4 for fc4, use this patch.
This will be the final comment i hope, as long as i/we don't find any other problems about the same issues. To compile irssi manually with gcc4 you'll need the patch i attached here. But for all lacy people, you can get the *svn* rpg from http://www.dubkat.info/download.php?project=rpms&file=irssi-0.8.10-rc5.svn.20050514_1801.sf.i386.rpm, giving dubkat credits for this package ;) More information about the gcc4-compiling-bug can be found at http://bugs.irssi.org/?do=details&id=219, it's fixed in revision 3726 (svn.irssi.org)
Ups.. seems like the patch was corrupt while trasfered. You can get it here; http://wouter.coekaerts.be/files/irssi-gcc4.diff
