Description Gregg Douglas 2010-02-21 18:25:10 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091222 SUSE/3.5.7-1.1.1 Firefox/3.5.7

Hi,

I tried to install KST, it installs fines, but I am unable to lunch the app. It reports the following error : kst: error while loading shared libraries: libkstwidgets.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

According to the kst website (http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kst/distros.html#opensuse), there are the following requirements:
 Installing Kst 1.x on openSUSE 11.2 requires the following packages to build from the source:

    * yast2 -i cmake
    * yast2 -i make
    * yast2 -i gcc-c++
    * yast2 -i qt3-devel
    * yast2 -i kdelibs3-devel
    * yast2 -i gsl-devel

I have installed all the above and much more.

I came across the same error reported on Gentoo (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305445)

Regards
Gregg

I do not fully understand your report. So a few questions:

1.) Did you install kst via a rpm as provided with openSUSE 11.2 or did you compile from source? Because openSUSE has 2.0beta2 and no 1.* version.

2.) If you installed via yast, please report the output of 'rpm -qi kst'

Hi,

Yes, I installed it from Yast. I referred to the kst web site for the dependencies when I was unable to execute kst.

rpm -qi kst output:
