Description of problem: On x86_64 machines, guile should load libraries from /usr/lib64/ and NOT (only) from /usr/lib/. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): guile-1.8.2-2.fc8 graphviz-guile-2.14.1-3.fc8 guile-lib-0.1.4-4.fc8 guile-cairo-1.4.0-4.fc7 guile-1.8.2-2.fc8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. On an x86_64 machine, install both guile.x86_64 and guile-cairo.x86_64. 2. Execute the following on the command line and notice the error: $ guile -c "(use-modules (cairo))" ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: "/usr/lib/libguile-cairo", message: "/usr/lib/libguile-cairo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Actual results: ERROR: file: "/usr/lib/libguile-cairo", message: "/usr/lib/libguile-cairo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Expected results: The command should not display any error message. Additional info: TEMPORARY-WORKAROUND: 1. cd to the /usr/lib/ directory. 2. Create a symlink from /usr/lib64/libguile-cairo.so.0 to /usr/lib/libguile-cairo.so: $ cd /usr/lib/ $ ln -s ../lib64/libguile-cairo.so.0 libguile-cairo.so This would temporarily fix the problem, but is NOT a solution, because it would screw up the 32-bit guile utility if installed and used with the 32-bit libguile-cairo.so. Potential Solutions: 1. Make sure that the x86_64 version of /usr/bin/guile loads all 3rd-party libraries from /usr/lib64/ and NOT from /usr/lib (this points to a guile packaging problem). 2. Make sure there exists a symlink from /usr/lib64/libguile-cairo.so.0 to /usr/lib64/libguile-cairo.so. (this points to a libguile-cairo packaging problem).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
