giFT under linux

Why can't Computer Scientists tell the difference between Halloween and Christmas?
Because 31 OCT. = 25 DEC.

ok, now that THAT's out of the way...i installed giFT, lib-giFT, and the openFT plugin for giFT (giFT ver 0.11.8.1 and openFT version 0.2.1.4) on slackware 10.0, and am using the apolion front end. all of the program components work fine, except i cannot get the giftd daemon to execute. it claims it is missing a shared library from /usr/lib (lib-giFT.so.0) that is there, and i have so far been unsuccessful in locating the configuration files for the giFT daemon so i can point this mislead startup script in the right direction. any ideas, experience with giFT, or mere appreciation of a bad pun i found? thanks in advance

Have you tried stracing the executable? It might be missing some other support file, but then giving an incorrect error message. For example, if you try to use the 'chroot' command without all the approprate libraries in the new root location, it will spit out a "/bin/sh: No such file or directory" error, even though /bin/sh exists in the new location. Using strace reveals that the "No such file or directory" error is actually from when /bin/sh tries to load a library that isn't there.

/Just had to deal with that particular problem last night
//Just man strace.

Oh, and it took me a minute, but I got the joke. Funny!

I love that joke ^_^

Try ldd /usr/bin/giftd
(or wherever your gift daemon is located)

Another thing to note is that gift (well my version of 0.11.8.1 anyway) looks for "libgift.so.0", NOT "libgiFT.so.0" (case-sensitive)

Try sticking in a symlink and hopefully that will help - maybe there was an error with the packaging or something.

Check your /etc/ld.so.conf

Make sure /usr/lib is in one of the paths.. although it's so common it should be.

Run 'ldconfig' as root.
