Hi List,

I get the following error: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libaoss.so' from LD_PERLOAD cannot be preloaded when running up Firefox

AND also when trying to compile (for example turbojpeg).

Running opensuse 10.2 on x86_64

Any help appreciated in obtaining the right library object file.

Thanks Herry

The first thing I would ask is does the library exist. The majority of occasions I have come across this kind of message have been when the indicated file is a corrupted generic link to the real library.

The second thing I would ask has this always happened, if not what was the last thing you did before things broke.

The library concerned is supplied by ALSA, and I would guess from the oss bit has something to with OSS. It is a link to /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0 on my install. I would check whether the link is broken.

You could reapply the SuSE ALSA package but it may be simpler to fix the link.

And just for your information: % rpm -qf /usr/lib/libaoss.so alsa-32bit-1.0.13-22 It works for me. as smith said, it might not be installed possibly.
