Dear all,

i just installed a SUSE 8.1 (default installation) and then i tried to install Limewire 2.6 as root. The installer answered:

...

Launching installer...

rm: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rm: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is wrong? Do i have to create a link somewhere?

I'm getting the same message when trying to start the Mozilla which comes with 8.1. I have my own version of Mozilla in my home directory, which starts fine without that error message.

The difference is in environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL being set to 2.2.5 The errors are produced by this piece of code in /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla: # export this temporarily - it seems to work with old and new # versions of the JVM. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 # get the version JVM_VERSION=`$JVM_COMMAND -version 2>&1 | grep version | cut -f 3 -d " " | sed -e 's/\"//g'` unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL case "$JVM_VERSION" in (1.3.0*) # bad JVM export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ;; The setting is not needed if you are using Java 1.3.1 or 1.4 I am using Java 1.3.1, so I commented out export line in the script. Regards, -Kastus

The problem is related to the fact that the JVM included with 8.1 is still built with GCC 2.95.3... while the rest of the distro is built with GCC 3.2. This is a known issue with ZeroG (the install anywhere folks) and SuSE is working on Sun to get an updated Java build. - Herman Michael Sacco wrote:

Hello,

I had the same problem with Limewire. Don't download and try to run the installer, just download the TGZ (or maybe tar.gz) file from LimeWire. Click on Other Installers and then linux on the next page. This file, when uncompressed, contains LimeWire as if you ran the script and told it to install in this folder. Hope this helps.
