[Gambas-user] Gambas2 #2939 - Compile/Install OK, Run Not OK - FIXED

[Richard]

Hi everyone,
and a special hello to anyone who has recently compiled and run Gambas2 on 
Mandriva 2010,0!

The system is a freshly updated x86_64 Mandriva 2010.0 from which I removed 
the Gambas 2.19.0 which was installed and working.

I have built, installed and tried to run today's #2939 revision but every time 
I type in gambas2 in a console I get the error:

ERROR #27: Cannot load component 'gb.qt': cannot find library file

When I execute
locate gb.qt

I get 
/usr/lib/gambas2/gb.qt.so
/usr/lib/gambas2/gb.qt.so.0
/usr/lib/gambas2/gb.qt.so.0.0.0 

I have also verified it is the right type of library (it is in /usr/lib rather 
than /usr/lib64 where I thought it might be)
file /usr/lib/gambas2/qb.qt.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/gambas2/gb.qt.so.0.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86_64, version 
1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped

.... OK - I have solved it. The CLUE was in the name:-) it should be lib64 and 
not lib. The solution? Just copy it over. The empty /usr/lib/64/gambas2 
directory was a dead giveaway. Left over from the Mandriva packaged gambas2 
install it clearly should not have been empty, and now it isn't and Gambas 2 
works again.
