xiphos missing libsword-1.9.0.3837.so?
egeiro opened this issue · comments
Hi, have just installed Arch Linux, added your repo and installed xiphos through pacman. I receive an error when attempting to run xiphos. The error is
xiphos: error while loading shared libraries: libsword-1.9.0.3837.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Could you advise or offer any suggestions please on where I could obtain this file?
Thanks, Gary
I might need to rebuild it if the SWORD library has updated. Thanks for reporting this, I'll see what happened.
My Xiphos build was built using the sword-svn package that's also in my repository because at the time the Arch Linux [community] copy of sword was out of date. I see that has changed, I'll rebuild to use that.
I'm having trouble rebuilding the packages at all, and we might have to fix this upstream. I'll report back here as soon as I have something for you! Thanks again for reporting this and sorry it's not usable at the moment.
Thanks. I appreciate your time.
@egeiro This might take a little bit to fix, Arch Linux isn't the only distro for which builds have gone sideways but so far we don't have any solid clues as to why.
Thanks in large part to the efforts of @ildar in tracking down a work around, this package on Arch should be fixed again. For the time being I've added a patch to the AUR build, but the upstream issue is still open because we'll need to get a proper fix into the next release of Xiphos.
All working here. Thanks to all involved in the fix.
