cannot find libdb-4.4.so

ic_torres · 03-09-2006, 04:09 AM

guys i need your opinion, i use slack10.2 to install my apache 1.3.34 (package from the slacksite) but when i was about to start it,(running etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start) here was the message:

error: cannot find standard object file: libdb-4.4.so
/usr/sbin/apachectl

i already looked at the site, (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdb/).

but the version located at the site is 0.3,,

I guess you are trying to install Apache from current? Apache in 10.2 is linked against db 3.3. Install the package from 10.2, and the db3 package (should not be necessary, since it is also in aaa_elflibs). If you upgraded to -current, install the db4 package.

have you run ldconfig after installation??

ic_torres · 03-10-2006, 04:07 AM

no, not yet.. i stopped when that error message came out.. m still in the process of finding the solution here and in google.

willysr · 03-10-2006, 09:17 PM

well, perhaps that's the problem, you haven't run ldconfig to tell your system that you have installed a new library. usually ldconfig will be executed at boot time, but in case you have just installed a new library, it's wise to call it again, since you are going to use the new library right away

ic_torres · 03-23-2006, 05:42 AM

Package apache-1.3.33-i486-1 upgraded with new package ./apache-1.3.34-i486-2.tgz. i have committed a mistake... the package that i upgraded was for the CURRENT slack, it should be (-1).tgz NOT (-2).tgz NOW my apache has been started.. ( i got the right package using gftp)

lesson learned: don't just install package with same filenames ....check for its version.
