Re: [expert] gdm won't start: error while loading shared libraries...
As it turns out, I did have gnome2 installed, but ldconfig wasn't looking at /opt/gnome2/lib, where the needed file resided. I did ldconfig /opt/gnome2/lib and gdm is working fine now. However, now I have the problem that when I choose the GNOME2 session in gdm, it brings up IceWM instead. Same goes with KDE3. I had tried to install Gnome2 a while ago (like you said, it was a pain), so I thought maybe I had some conflicting packages. I ripped out a number of gnome-related packages to try and clean things up and am now trying to replace them. Maybe I cleaned things all too well... :) - Kathy On Monday 30 September 2002 04:15 pm, Randall Jonasz wrote: I forgot you said you have 9.0 installed. Use rpmdrake and see if gnome2 can be installed that way. Cheers, Randy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hmm... this command returns nothing. That must be a bad thing. :) I tried messing around with ldconfig, because it has solved problems for me before, but I don't understand it well enough to use it as it probably should be used. ldconfig -p | grep libgnome returns the following, FWIW: libgnomevfs.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomevfs.so.0 libgnomevfs-pthread.so (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-pthread.so libgnomeui.so.32 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.32 libgnomeui-2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0 libgnomesupport.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomesupport.so.0 libgnomesupport-2.0.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomesupport-2.0.so.0 libgnomeprintui-2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeprintui-2.so.0 libgnomeprint.so.15 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so.15 libgnomeprint-2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeprint-2.so.0 libgnomeole2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomeole2.so.0 libgnomemm-1.2.so.9 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomemm-1.2.so.9 libgnomedb.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomedb.so.0 libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1 libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 libgnome.so.32 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnome.so.32 libgnome-window-settings.so.1 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnome-window-settings.so.1 libgnome-desktop-2.so.0 (libc6) = /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.0 - Kathy On Monday 30 September 2002 02:32 pm, Randall Jonasz wrote: Hi, Have you tried ldconfig -p | grep libgnome-2 to make sure the library is recognized by ld?
