gnucash cannot find libgncmod-engine.so
Last modified: 2014-03-16 23:08:02 EDT
Description of problem: gnucash fails to start due to a shared-library problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnucash-2.2.0-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gnucash from a terminal. Actual results: [uckelman@localhost ~]$ gnucash gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgncmod-engine.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected results: gnucash should start. Additional info: The requested library, libgncmod-engine.so, does exist on my system, in /usr/lib64/gnucash.
What does 'rpm -q --qf %{ARCH}\n gnucash ' say?
I get: x86_64n (probably need to quote '%{ARCH}\n' to get the \n to be a newline, heh) I had the i386 package installed along side the x86_64 one; the same thing happened when I started gnucash then, as well.
Does it verify correctly?
Here's the relevant output from 'rpm -V gnucash': S.5....T /usr/bin/gnc-fq-check S.5....T /usr/bin/gnc-fq-helper S.5....T /usr/bin/gnc-fq/update S.5....T /usr/bin/gnucash S.5....T /usr/bin/gnucash-valgrind S.5....T /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash-env Just to be safe, I uninstalled gnucash and gnucash-doc, and then reinstalled them. , after which verify produced the same results. I guess the size and MD5 differ on these because of prelinking? After reinstalling I was able to run gnucash. I can't fathom why it worked after the second reinstall but not after the first. I do now get the following warning on starting gnucash, though: gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time. Anyway, the problem is gone for me now, though I would like to know what caused it.
Assigning as a dup of what appears to be the same problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 246382 ***
