I installed the package and it ran through the installation successfully

I have downloaded and configured and installed nghost successfully, but when I try to run it I get an error message.

./nghost: error while loading shared libraries: libnghostgui2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I ran a search and it did find this file in the following directory.

# find / -name libnghostgui2.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libnghostgui2.so.0


Thanks Again

seems like it installed correctly, maybe run ldconfig to update so your system knows about it? I know this is a hack but maybe try:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnghostgui2.so.0 /usr/lib/libnghost2.so.0

Segmentation fault

That's a bummer. Can you run it through gdb and give me a stack trace? My guess is that it's a configuration problem.

Code:

gdb nghost
run
... (nghost crashes)
bt

thanks

Thanks...

vyper, can you type "bt" after you get to that point in gdb? That will give me the full stack trace.

I can't think of a reason why it would be crashing there. What resolution are you running at? Also, what version of X are you running?

also, make sure that "gui3" is disabled and you have compiled sdl_image with png support (learned from one of the guys that runs gentoo).
