[RESOLVED] alpine

[Fieryphoenix]

Installing on Pogoplug Pro, on launch alpine fails with:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'alpine: error while loading shared libraries: libgssapi.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory')

Then you may not have the required packages.

Clearly. Naturally I expected pacman to install required packages.

I checked pacman -Ss libgssapi to see if there was a libgssapi package, which there isn't, and I read up on what libgssapi is, and tried to find packages which it was part of, which I didn't find an example except for libgssglue, which I found mentioned as a solution someone had for the same error report when they ran conserver client. But when I installed it it did not fix alpine.

pacman -Si says it depends on libldap, heimdal, and gettext, all of which are installed. So, according to the documentation, I do have all the required packages.

So, rereading the post about the fellow running conserver as I composed this reply, I fixed the problem. In ALarm, the file is called libgssapi_krb5.so.2, not libgssapi.so.2. The current package does not correctly reference the library name used on ALarm.

To fix this issue, make a symbolic link:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.2')

krb5 & heimdal.. oh the joys. I'll point this out to leming.

That would be because alpine was removed from Arch, replaced with re-alpine which is a failed build for us. Yet another reason I need to start making progress on clearing out the old crap. I'll look into why the build failed and see if I can get it into the repo soon.

re-alpine is now available in the repos. alpine has been removed.
