When i try to launch some desklets i have this message

Code:

: File name too long
import: error while loading shared libraries: libdpstk.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I see the libdpstk is in xorg 6.8.2 but not in 6.90 used by my slackware-current.

Do you have some idea ?

Thanks :)

Most likely, your adesklets installment or one of its dependencies (Imlib2 or fontconfig) was built against an older version of Xorg (< 6.9.x).

Solution is simply to upgrade the problematic X11-related library(ies), and possibly (re)compiling adesklets from source. You can use ldd (part of glibc) to investigate things further if you want to pinpoint exacly what component is failing:

Code:


 ldd `which adesklets` | sed -n '/=>/{s/.*=>\(.*\)(.*/\1/;p}' | xargs --max-lines=1 ldd

I hope this helps. Yours,

ImageMagick :shock: ?! I guess you meant Imlib2 ?

no , it's ImageMagick
I began to compil Imlib2 but the message has stayed the same
I saw the same message when i tried to use convert a tool of imagemagick , so i re-compil a new version of ImageMagick and the message has disapeared and all works fine

So you had a common dependency or ill-configured component between ImageMagick and adesklets... So I guess we will never know for sure. Oh, well...
