Qchem Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I need to find libXft.so.1 for a piece of software that we run. Anyone any ideas where I might be able to find it? I've managed to get libXft.so.2 but linking it to the desired name was a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Looks like you'd have to install libxorg-x11 for Xorg 6.9 :unsure: - assuming it's not available from libxorg-x11 for 7.1 (which, IIRC, is what 2007 is using) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Dang, tyme was too fast. Again. But I'll add anyway that rpm.pbone.net is useful for this kind of question, you can search there for rpms that contain certain files. By looking for your libXft.so it brings up several SeerOfSouls rpms for Mandriva 2006, eg libxorg-x11-devel-6.9.0-11.1.20060.SoS.i586.rpm which sure enough has in its contents /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so. My guess is that after all the Xorg changes, it might be a little painful to get this to work with 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Qchem is trying to run some legacy app that probably won't see an update anytime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's also proprietary so I can't get at the code and when a new version is released I have no idea if it will work. To save pain on my part it might be best that I try a different distro, one with Xorg 6.something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
