[hanwen@haring nobackup]$ yelp yelp: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [hanwen@haring nobackup]$ rpm -q yelp yelp-2.16.0-2.fc6 (also, it seems that libgtkmozembed is duplicated among several mozilla / gecko apps, but I assume that that is intentional)
Thanks for the bug report. Hmm, yelp-2.16.0-2.fc6 starts up successfully for me. Can I ask what version of firefox you have installed?
I have yelp-2.16.0-2.fc6 and firefox-1.5.0.7-1.fc6 and I get this same issue - I just noticed it today, so it has happened sometime in the last week. [jwulf@localhost en-US]$ yelp yelp: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ldd $(which yelp)|grep found libgtkembedmoz.so => not found libxpcom.so => not found libxpcom_core.so => not found [jwulf@localhost en-US]$ locate libgtkembedmoz.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/libgtkembedmoz.so [jwulf@localhost en-US]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/ [jwulf@localhost en-US]$ yelp Yelp-ERROR **: Could not initialize gecko! aborting... My machine is tracking rawhide daily.
I have the same setup as Joshua.
thanks! working with yelp-2.16.0-3.fc6 now
