Description of problem: synergyc will not run Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): synergy.i386 0:1.3.1-1.fc5 (from extras) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use yum to install synergy 2. run synergyc 3. Actual results: synergyc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected results: should run w/o error Additional info:
Most likely the synergy package is missing a Requires: on this library.
FC5 has /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 installed. The rpm posted on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=59275&package_id=58013) fails with rpm -Uvh *rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by synergy-1.3.1-1.i386
You need compat-libstdc++-296 installed, as that is the package that provides /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 The upstream package from sourceforge would need a Requires: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 or some such.
After playing with this for a while, it turns out I needed to install compat-libstdc++-33.i386 Then synergyc worked. Thanks Jesse.
I can't reproduce here on FC5 i386 : $ ls /usr/lib/libstdc++* /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 [dude@python2 dude]$ sudo rpm -Uvh synergy-1.3.1-1.fc5.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:synergy ########################################### [100%] [dude@python2 dude]$ synergyc synergyc: a server address or name is required Try `synergyc --help' for more information. Can you please try to run : rpm -q --requires synergy | grep libstd (should return : libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4))
$ rpm -q --requires synergy | grep libstd libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)
Hmmm... could you try "synergyc --version" and "which synergyc"... this seems like the typical case where you might have an older synergyc binary lying around which gets found first in your $PATH...
$ whereis synergyc synergyc: /usr/bin/synergyc /usr/local/bin/synergyc Thanks Matthias -- sorry for the trouble.
No problem :-)
