Hi all,
after upgrade from 15.2 to 15.3, today I tried to start
inkscape
on my system but it could not be launched.
Package version
inkscape-1.1.1-lp153.87.2.x86_64.rpm
If I try to run it in the terminal the following error messages are occuring:
$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Apparently it should have to do with
libinkscape_base.so
I've no idea to solve the problem.
Kind regards
Michael

On my Leap 15.3 system I have inkscape-1.0.1-2.34 from the Main repository http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss/, which works fine. In this package libinkscape_base.so is at /usr/lib64/libinkscape_base.so You don't include in your post where you got the package that you installed, and why (you really should include this in your post so we don't have to go fishing for it). Anyway it looks like you got it at https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/graphics/openSUSE_Leap_15.3. There are ~dozen folks who maintain that repo. On the OBS I found the 15.3 package that you installed, and there is apparently a config bug in that package causing it to look for that file in the wrong location. Search your system for libinkscape_base.so. Is it in a /usr/lib64/inkscape directory? If it is, try creating a link to it from one level up, i.e., /usr/lib64/libinkscape_base.so -> /usr/lib64/inkscape/libinkscape_base.so. If you have the opposite, i.e., you do have /usr/lib64/libinkscape_base.so, then create the directory /usr/lib64/inkscape and create a link there from the file at /usr/lib64. One of these workaround might fix your problem. Failing that, you can try installing the version that is in the Tumbleweed main repo (1.1.1.-1.2) or the Tumbleweed graphics repo (1.1.1-87.11). https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/graphics/openSUSE_Tumbleweed --dg 15.3/Plasma
