Install problem

After downloading and extracting, I do (as requested)

./GoWeather.sh

but the system reply is:

./WeatherD: error while loading shared libraries: libipworks.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, the file IS there. Tried in Mandrake 10. and Suse 9.2, same result

Also tried the exeutable WeatherDlinux.zip - and get the file unzipped. Marks it as executable, but nothing happens when I try to tun it (same problem in both distros)

Any suggestions?

jensjk.dk

what is the permission of libipworks.so.5 :?:

make sure you install to the home directory…and not one higher…check that

Thanks for the suggestions. In fact, I had installed in ad dir in home - but a lower one, ie, I created a “weather” folde in my home dir and installed wdisplay there - but after having read your post, I moved the wdisplay dir up one level - and now everything works - Linux is a challenge!

its becuase linux does not know where “dll” files are,…,…
it needs to be told, via the LD_LIBRARY command…
windows is “smarter”…it looks for associated dll (they are called a different name in linux) where the program is or in undr the windows directory
