The trick at searching libs is to end the seachterm before the ".so*", here "libhdf5" and then look at the results for the other numbers.
I tried that when a requirement for libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.11 was not satisfied. I downloaded the file directed (excluding the -11 suffix), but the failure remained. On my system, I now have libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.3, not .so.11. These libs can't be that far out of sync, can they? I deleted the 11 from the end of the search when the search failed, ending up with .so.3. A bit confusing. Thanks for you help.
ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick are a special case regarding the naming of the libs, as the include the supported colormode/bitness of images in there (Q8 or Q16 currently, I think[1]). Generally, Yamaban used a little too short version, which often suffices, but not always. If in doubt, first, cut everything before the .so.*. Then shorten further to libfoo[++]. So, in this case, search for libGraphicsMagick++ or even just GraphicsMagick leaving out the lib and the ++ as well. Then, you need a bit more deductive work deciding which package is right though... In this case, it's quite hard, as I only find Q16-3 for the base-lib and the C++ lib (with ++ tacked on). So, let's check out the base-package "GraphicsMagick". Well, for 1.3.21, we find the -11 package, but only some select distro-versions from "official" repos. home:darix seems to maintain most of it, so let's have a look there, and lo and behold, in the home:darix repo, we find the lib for 13.1 libGraphicsMagick++-Q16-11-1.3.21-2.1.x86_64.rpm That really is a difficult cornercase to find though. And if you miss it for you distro, you can still ask, if someone would build it. HTH, -dnh [1] Q8 means 8bit/pixel/color, i.e. your classic 24bit/pixel (RGB with 8 bit/color Q16 means 16bit/pixel/color, i.e. 48bits/pixel, RGB with 16bit for each color. --
It's been said that a symptom if insanity is the repetition of a pattern of actions while expecting a different result from the last time.
