$ evince
evince: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
However libSM is there, and other applications using can find and open
it (e.g. gv)
We had this issue on a 32bit Ubuntu 12.04.3, with
/ mounted ext4
/usr1 mounted ext3
and /usr/lib a symbolic link to /usr1/lib
(along with a few other directories in /usr being symlinks to directories
residing in /usr1)
The problem disappeared when removing the symlink and moving /usr1/lib
into /usr
Previously:
strace:
open("/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1
EACCES (Permission denied)
and
ltrace:
SYS_open("/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSM.so"..., 524288, 00) = -13
SYS_stat64(0xbfccdbb0, 0xbfccdc40, 0xb7713ff4, 16, 0xb76f0064) = 0
