     1.5 +====== An Application Cannot Find Libraries/Files ======
     1.6 +
     1.7 +===== Symptoms =====
     1.8 +
     1.9 +  *  When run in a Terminal, an application fails with the message:
    1.10 +<code> [name]: error while loading shared libraries: [library].so.*: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</code>
    1.11 +
    1.12 +===== Explanation =====
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The program is missing some files it needs to run. This is caused by the package information missing a reference to another, or not including the file.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +===== Solution =====
    1.17 +
    1.18 +Check if the file required is available in another package. Use the package manager (TazPkg) to search for the file:
    1.19 +  * start the package manager
    1.20 +  * 'Recharge' the package lists, if necessary 
    1.21 +  * click the "Search" tab 
    1.22 +  * in the //Search// box, enter the file-name ([library].so) and click "Files"
    1.23 +  * install the package (pick that with the closest name if there is more than one) by double-clicking the entry and clicking //Install Package//
    1.24 +
    1.25 +Alternatively, run the following command from a terminal:
    1.26 +<code>tazpkg search-pkgname library.so</code>
    1.27 +
    1.28 +
    1.29 +... and install the appropriate package with:
    1.30 +<code> tazpkg get-install [package] </code>
    1.31 +
    1.32 +If no packages are given, report this as a bug over at the [[http://labs.slitaz.org|Labs]] as it needs to be included, or the dependency removed during the build.
