32 or 64 bit (i.e. i586 or x86-64)?

Qgis, netcdf,gdal1, etc were all installed via rpm. The above shared library is in my path,

Where? There are two types of libraries, 32 bit ones in /lib and /usr/lib and 64 bit ones in /lib64 and /usr/lib64. 64 bit binaries need 64 bit libraries and then same holds for 32 bit.

Do a 'ldd $(which qgis)' and see if ldd finds all needed libraries.

Philipp Thanks - running 64 bit(x86-64). The only reference I have been able to find to the file is in /opt/netcdf3/lib64, even though i also installed netcdf4.1.1. Running your command 'ldd$(which qgis) gives me a bunch of libraries in addition to this :libnetcdf.so.4 => not found So i'm not any further ahead on how to fix this! Any suggestions?

Which is a place the runtime linker (a program that connects binaries with shared libraries) won't see. Add that path to /etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig and afterwards all should run as expected.

From where did you take it? And in what form did you install it (self compiled, rpm etc.)? I ask because /opt is only for 3rd party software vendors.

Philipp The files (binary rpm) were retrieved from the download.opensuse.org/repo/Application:/Geo/opensuse_11.3 so I assumed that when installing , the linking etc would be looked after.! Looking into /etc/ld.so.conf, surprise, the path to the file is in it, yest qgis still complains about not finding the file.

Hmm, everything OK. Then let's try

strace -f -o qgis.trace -e trace=file

the trace in qgis.trace should show where ld.do is searching for the library.

Philipp Had to make a small change to the above:

strace -f qgis -o qgis.trace -e trace=file I have appended the "relevant" section, which shows(?) that its looking for the library in /lib64.. open("/lib64/tls/x86_64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/tls/x86_64", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/tls/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/tls", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/x86_64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64/x86_64", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/lib64", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/lib64/tls/x86_64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/lib64/tls/x86_64", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/tls/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/lib64/tls", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/x86_64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/lib64/x86_64", 0x7fffd8ae76b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/libnetcdf.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/lib64", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=151552, ...}) = 0 writev(2, [{"qgis", 4}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"libnetcdf.so.4", 14}, {": ", 2}, {"cannot open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such file or directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10qgis: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Looks like it is not reinstalling libnetcdf4. You might try brute force, but just to be safe, download the package, libnetcdf4, first. cd to the directory containing the rpm.

rpm -e --force libnetcdf4 rpm -i ./libnetcdf4-1.1-16.5.x86_64.rpm SuSEconfig; ldconfig Seems I'm the culprit (well sort of). I had upgraded libnetcdf4 to 4.1.1, when in fact qgis wanted 4.0.1, however there was no warning about the loss of dependencies. Re-installed libnetcdf4 4.0.1-6.1 and every thing works as it should.

The general rule is: stay away from home projects unless you do trust the person owning it. Home projects are uncontrolled playgrounds of their owners and there is a reason why the search on opensuse.org was changed to not search home projects by default. You just learned the reason why.
