Library locations for amarok, k3b, libcap, and iptables

[bdubbs@…]

A ticket in LFS led me to check library locations in BLFS packages. A .so that is a link to a .so.xx file should be located in /usr/lib, not /lib. What I found in /lib was:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      28 Sep  1 16:24 libamarok-sqlcollection.so -> libamarok-sqlcollection.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      26 Sep  1 16:24 libamarok-transcoding.so -> libamarok-transcoding.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 Sep  1 16:24 libamarokcore.so -> libamarokcore.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Sep  1 16:24 libamaroklib.so -> libamaroklib.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      23 Sep  1 16:24 libamarokocsclient.so -> libamarokocsclient.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Sep  1 16:24 libamarokpud.so -> libamarokpud.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 Sep  1 16:24 libamarokshared.so -> libamarokshared.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 Aug 20 16:55 libcap.so -> libcap.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Sep  4 15:11 libip4tc.so -> libip4tc.so.0.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Sep  4 15:11 libip6tc.so -> libip6tc.so.0.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Sep  4 15:11 libipq.so -> libipq.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Sep  4 15:11 libiptc.so -> libiptc.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Sep  1 13:50 libk3bdevice.so -> libk3bdevice.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      14 Sep  1 13:50 libk3blib.so -> libk3blib.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Aug 15 23:59 libkmod.so -> libkmod.so.2.2.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Aug 15 23:56 liblzma.so -> liblzma.so.5.0.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      20 Sep  4 15:11 libxtables.so -> libxtables.so.10.0.0

I'm not sure *any* of the libamarok or k3b libraries should be in /lib. Both are cmake apps.

Amarok and K3B libraries should be in $KDE_PREFIX/lib. If you didn't set $KDE_PREFIX, then set it or replace it with an actual prefix like /usr.

Iptables page has:

for file in libip4tc libip6tc libipq libiptc libxtables
do
  ln -sfv ../../lib/`readlink /lib/${file}.so` /usr/lib/${file}.so &&
  rm -v /lib/${file}.so &&
  mv -v /lib/${file}.la /usr/lib &&
  sed -i "s@libdir='@&/usr@g" /usr/lib/${file}.la
done

which moves non-versioned .so files to /usr/lib.

See lfs-systemd instructions for kmod and xz modifications to move the non-versioned libraries out of /lib.

As for libcap, the big patch I've sent you privately a while ago should've addressed that, but you didn't seem to apply most of it, even some trivial fixes :(

I install Amarok using -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE_PREFIX (where $KDE_PREFIX is /opt/kde), and don't get any files from Amarok in /lib.

I'll recheck my installation and update this ticket as appropriate.

I also found:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 15 déc.  19:51 /lib/libpamc.so -> libpamc.so.0.82.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      21 15 déc.  19:51 /lib/libpam_misc.so -> libpam_misc.so.0.82.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 15 déc.  19:51 /lib/libpam.so -> libpam.so.0.83.1

but this has been changed by Fernando already at r12447 together with instructions for libcap and iptables. Shouldn't this ticket be closed?

[bdubbs@…]

I need to double check. I'll try to get that done today.

[bdubbs@…]

I've verified that k3b and amarok are OK. The libraries in /lib were due to an error in my scripts.

kmod and xz have been fixed.

Still looking at libtirpc, PAM, iptables, and libcap.

[bdubbs@…]

I checked the packages and all libraries seem to be in the correct position now. Closing.
