Epiphany: Shared object error

Hi All,

Whenever I start epiphany from the terminal I encounter this error

Code: 
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libicui18n.so.38" not found, required by "epiphany"

What should be done? I tried reinstalling epiphany from /usr/ports/www/epiphany. Still the same error

Any Help?
 
Hi SirDice,

I have updated the ports tree. Still no progress I keep getting the same error

What should I do next.


Thanks
 
Hi,

I did [cmd=]portupgrade -rf icu and ran out of space on [FILE]/usr[/FILE]. Then I tried [cmd=]portmaster -r icu and the following errors showed up.

Code: 
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/math/py-numpy

	===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
	===>>> atlas needs to be built with WITH_STATICLIB for numpy to function properly

	===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
	       IGNORE line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for py26-numpy-1.4.1,1 failed

Why did you turn on the ATLAS option in py-numpy? Turn that off, and try again:
# cd /usr/ports/math/py-numpy; make config
# portmaster -r icu
 
Hi Wblock,

It is long list of applications to rebuild. It may take more than just hours to rebuild everything. And to top it all I am running out of space on /usr. Is there any other way I can just overcome the libicu issue for now. I am running firefox now.


Thanks
 
You can try it without the -r option to portmaster:
# portmaster icu

Deleting unneeded files in /usr/ports/distfiles can gain back some space, as can deleting the contents of /usr/tmp, /usr/obj, and /usr/src.
 
Hi Wblock,

The space issue on /usr resolved. Deleting the files in /usr/src, /usr/tmp, /usr/obj gained some space (around 500 MB).

But the epiphany error still remains. The command 'portmaster icu' without the '-r' option went off smoothly. icu4.6 got installed. But epiphany still shows the same 'libicuI18n.so.38 not found' error.

Anything else I could try?

Thanks
 
I'd rebuild epiphany so it's not looking for an old library (38 is old, 46 is new). The -r option should have done that for you; why did you leave it out?
 
Hi Wblock,

You did advise me to use issue [cmd=]portmaster icu[/cmd] without '-r' option because it was taking a very long time to rebuild all the applications.

Thanks

Please review

Ah, I did. But that was "you can try this, but..." And that's kind of how it turned out. Anyway, now you need to rebuild at least epiphany to use the new icu. Really, you should run
# portmaster -nr icu
to show a list of everything that depends on icu. Just rebuilding epiphany may be enough, at least to run epiphany but maybe not any of the other things depending on icu.
