Installation Problem: cannot open shared object file

Good morning!

I am attempting to install screen-scraper under PCLinuxOS 2007 and am getting errors when running the install. These errors occur whether I am root or a user.

I tried the commands that are generating the errors (awk, basename, etc..) from a prompt and they work fine. The shared libraries referenced exist in /lib and are readable and executable.

I was wondering if you've seen these kind or errors before and have any ideas as to how to resolve them.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

That's a good idea. I added a bit to our FAQ. If you think more is needed please let me know.

Hi Scott,

The FAQ that you referenced solved the installation problem that I was having. Thanks for the info.

I had scanned that FAQ before and didn't realize that the problem that I had was related to the JRE install. Adding some of the actual error messages encountered in the problem description in the FAQ would have made it easier to make that connection. Just a thought...

Thanks again for the assistance,
Steve
