I'm puzzled about ldd and "/usr/lib/../lib"

I'm building my own custom linux distro, and I'm puzzled about why 'ldd /usr/bin/gobject-query' shows "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so.6" instead of "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libffi.so.6". Archlinux is the host system for building base packages to set up chroot and rebuild them again inside. When building glib2 outside chroot I get "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libffi.so.6". Building it inside chroot ldd shows "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so.6". I know that it's harmless and only a cosmetic issue, but I want to know why there is two dots and how to fix this somehow.. Anyone expert on this matter?

What's in your /etc/ld.so.conf ?
Here's mine (Gentoo):
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/lib64
/usr/lib64
/usr/local/lib64
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
Arch:
# /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
# End of file
As you can see, Gentoo's ld.so.conf is more interesting. Running "ldd /bin/bash" outputs:
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeac4ea000)
libreadline.so.6 => /lib64/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007f118f80b000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007f118f5ac000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f118f1ff000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f118fa5d000)

Root password and /usr/lib/cron/tabs folder

/usr/lib/cron/tabs is owned by root with the permissions of "drwx------ 2 root". My user on this machine is an admin but I cannot see the contents of /usr/lib/cron/tabs and I do not know the root pw. As an admin on this machine how do I reset the root PW or get into the /usr/lib/cron/tabs folder?
Thanks.

you can use
*sudo ls /usr/lib/cron/tabs*
with your admin password.
You can reset root password by booting from the leopard install DVD and using "Reset Password" utility.

Conky and /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4

Hi, while I'm new to arch I've been using linux for a good six months now and can usually get around most problems. I've basically got everything as I usually like it except for conky. I go ahead and install it, make my .conkyrc and assume I'll be good. However, when I run conky I get "conky: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: file too short". Not much else to say except what is it telling me and how do I fix it?

[stijn@lysithea ~]$ pacman -Ql curl | grep curl.so
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.0.1
If your box is up to date you shouldn't have any problem . Conky runs fine here.

[SOLVED] [wine, bumblebee] /usr/lib/libturbojpeg.so missing

Hi together,
i cannot start games using wine and optirun anymore. Wine complains about the file /usr/lib/libturbojpeg.so is missing although it is there. Maybe optirun redirects to another
lib instead which is actually missing. Yesterday it worked so i think it has to do with the update of lib32-libjpeg-turbo i installed today.
Thanks for your help.
Yours
Thomas
Edit:
Sorry i made a mistake. The error complains just about "libturbojpeg.so" not "/usr/lib/libturbojpeg.so" so i think "/usr/lib32/libturbojpeg.so" is meant which is actually missing.

Is adding /usr/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-system.conf a bad idea?

I recently noticed I was using AMD's libOpenCL (the ICD) because its path was being injected through the ld.so.conf.d configuration files.
I had installed another ICD, and was expecting to use the libOpenCL.so from /usr/lib, but I wasn't, so I created a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-system.conf with a single line: /usr/lib, so that system libraries are used first.
Is this a bad idea in general and does this break anything? I know I'm relying on Arch to provide the latest (hopefully ABI backwards compatible) version of all libraries, but this shouldn't really be a problem, right?

The following is said in the manpage of 'ldconfig':
ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/lib and /usr/lib).
The way I see it, these directories are automatically considered.
Edit: Ups, ebal was faster.

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
     table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
     table 5 : Customer/Material
     table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
     table 4 : Material
5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

Hi,
You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
Hope this is clear.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

praveen

"/usr/lib is not a symbolic link" and testify+libjpeg7 problem

everytime I update pacman or do a "ldconfig" I get this:
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link
this appeared by the time i installed libjpeg7 from aur (though I'm not 100% sure libjpeg7 is responsible). I've looked through google trying to find out what it means and if it is a problem, but nada! but, while at libjpeg, even though I installed libjpeg7 I can't compile testify (spotify linux-client). I get this error:
In file included from image.c:31:
jmemsrc.h:26: error: conflicting types for 'jpeg_mem_src'
/usr/include/jpeglib.h:959: note: previous declaration of 'jpeg_mem_src' was here
make: *** [image.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
when i make /usr/include/jpeglib.h link to /usr/include/libjpeg7/jpeglib.h the compile and install is successful, BUT, testify crashes telling me:
Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 70
if more info's required, I'll provide andif I'm raising a problem already raised (I know there's been a lot of hassle since the upgrade), I'll gladly follow a link to solution.
edit: the "not a symbolic link" appeared after installing libspotify0.0.3. installed it on another computer, and same thing appeared. though, would still like to know why it appears...

Why are systemd startup scripts under /usr/lib and not /etc? [SOLVED]

Just out of curiosity: why are systemd configuration files (startup scripts, or whatever they are called) in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ and not somewhere under /etc?
After all, they are configuration files and not libraries.
It may simply be my lack of knowledge of the standard linux filesystem layout, so please enlighten me.

How to fix CUPS corrupted (Dyld Error Message:   Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcups.2.dylib)?

After restarting apple site no longer opened like also my home page. Other programs also stopped working and always warn about the same error described bellow. I posted my last try which was reinstall my system Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8). Does anyone deal with this problem before? How can I reinstall at least the operation system or just fixing this library will solve the problem?
Note: The reason of using virtualbox is that I need to use a prescribed software that only works in windows environment and since I need to make work in other places the wireless printing is the only viable way to do this.

Here is another option.
I had the same problem with my Mac OSX System 10.8.4 after update cups from 1.6.2 to 1.6.3.
I have a MacBookPro with the same system version and copy the libcups.2.dylib file form /usr/lib/ then replace the error file in my other Mac.
1. Install cups 1.6.2 again
2. Replace the file libcups.2.dylib in /usr/lib/ directory with this one libcups.2.dylib
Note: I added the link if you dont have an other mac in the same version available.
This works for me.

"Permissions Differ on "usr/lib/ruby" ?!

I'm using Leopard. After a recent startup problem with a Macbook I ran Disk Utilities, Verify Disk Permissions, and got the following message:
"Permissions differ on "usr/lib/ruby", should be lrwxr-xr-x, they are drwxr-xr-x."
1) What does this mean?
2) Is it a serious security issue (i.e. malware)?
3) What do I do about it?

"If you use the menu item "Go" and select the "Go to folder..." option, you can type in:
/usr/lib
and check to see if ruby is an alias or an actual folder. It should appear as an alias in the Finder,"
============================================================================
Ok, did that so I'll give you an long list of stuff I found, if you have the patience to go through it all.
Finder > Go > Go to folder > /usr/lib. There are 4 Ruby aliases (with arrow symbol) there: "libruby.1.dylib" , "libsvnswigruby-1.dylib" , "libsvnswigruby-1.0.dylib" and "libsvnswigruby-1.0.0.0.dylib".
AND, yes, there is also an ACTUAL RUBY FOLDER (blue, no arrow) in usr/lib.
This Ruby folder breaks down into the following subfolders: (Finder>Library>)Ruby Folder (blue)> site_ruby > 1.8 > osx and powerpc-darwin 8.0 (two folders). In this "osx" folder there are 9 .rb files called active_record.rb, addressbook.rb, appkit.rb, cocoa.rb, coredate.rb, foundation.rb, NMOSXDockHelper.rb, qtkit.rb and webkit.rb. In the powerpc-darwin8.0 folder is a rubycocoa.bundle icon (like a lego brick).
The followinig actual folders (blue, no arrow)) are also present in usr/lib: dtrace, groff, java, mecab, openmpi, pam, php, pkgconfig, podcastproducer, sa, samba, sas12, sqlite3, system, and zsh.
=================================================================
"and the original folder is supposed to be in
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby"
You might also check that location to see if the ruby folder is there."
==============================================================================
Yes, it's also in this location. There are 2 main Ruby folders (blue, nop arrow) in System/ Library/Frameworks: one called 'RubyCocoa.framework', the other Ruby.framework. Ruby.framework > 1.8 > usr > (here there are three more folders 'bin' , 'lib' and 'share') lib > ruby. Here, in this ruby folder are aliases (site_ruby' and 'user_gems' as well as actual folders called 'gems' and 1.8. In 1.8 there are further subfolders named bigdecimal, cgi, date, digest and such which are NOT in the Ruby folder in usr/lib.
============================================================================
I have no idea whether anything in the Mac OS actually uses ruby stuff or not. Ruby is a programming language, and Ruby on Rails is used in web development.

By the way, I performed the Safari 3.1 update, Garageband Update 4.1.2 , iPhoto Update 7.1.2 , and Airport Utility 5.3.1 update two days before this all happened. I rebooted after the updates were fully installed, used the macbook (starting and rebooting 2 or 3 times duringthe course of the day, after which everything seemed fine). Two days later when I tried to start the Macbook I got a very long blue screen (in excess of 7-8 minutes) and had to try starting several times before I could log on. Then I ran the disk utility and got the Ruby permissions message. I've performed all the disk repair stuff and the message remains.
I searched the Internet and could find no other examples of this happening. So, questions remain:
1. Is there ANY possible way this could be malware, spyware, etc.?
2. Any ideas as to how this change could have happened on my system?

If it were different architectures, there would be an ELF class error. Assuming that all of the installed libraries are from the Arch repos, I'm betting that expat is corrupt. I would reinstall expat and see if that solves the problem.

Should arch symlink /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib?

After spending two hours debugging a bloody java applet accessing a smart card trough pcsclite (Buypass used for different services in Norway, including government services) it turns out it failed because it ONLY looked for 64bit libs in /usr/lib64. As arch stores 64bit libs in plain old /usr/lib on a 64bit system, this obivously failed. Two hours someone stole from me by doing a sloppy job! Argh!. And I should have been in bed at least one and a half hour ago too.
I know Debian does this symlinking, and as there apparently are idiots out there who do stuff like above, making such a symlink could save someone some major hassle. I guess it's not to easy for developers of such apps either, as you have to avoid loading libs from /usr/lib before looking for them in /usr/lib64, or else you will get a 32bit lib on Fedora/RedHat and Suse, if both 32bit libs and 64bit ones are installed. Of course you should look for the lib in /usr/lib if you don't find something in /usr/li64, but I guess some don't. Grrrr.
As there really are no agreed "best pracitce" for where libs of different arch should go (that I could find anyway), such a symlink makes sense to me.

Inxsible wrote:
So If I am reading this correctly, you are saying that now that you have found a solution to do what you need, you do not want to spend time to file a bug report? That's a pretty selfish thing to do.
You want the developers to create symlinks for you by default, but you are not willing to even report something like that on the bug tracker.
You misunderstand me. tomk said my concern for "someone" having problems might be because I was this "someone". While he has a point (I wouldn't have brought this up if it hadn't caused me problems - wouldnt even know about it), it was not to solve my own problem I started this thread - my problem was already fixed. That was what I meant. Fixing this now would not benefit me, and as I solved my problem before starting this thread, my benefit was not my goal. As soon as i realized I could fix this with a symlink, I fixed it with a symlink. And after happily using my smartcard in that stupid java applet, then I started this thread.
While I certainly could post a bug report, I was not really sure if this was a bug. And based on the response I got here, it seemed it wasn't, and that people think those requiring a symlink should make their own.
The sidenote about people answering to the thread without reading my posts was made because people obviously missed the part of this being about a java applet, and therefore is not something in some arch TU messed up while packaging. No biggie, though.
After reading R00kies post, I actually DID read about FHS, and it appears to me that the AMD64-arch SHOULD in deed have their libs in lib64, according to the standard
So i guess a bug report is in order after all, so the devs atleast can have a look on it. But not until after school and work tomorrow.
ngoonee: By the way, this would not preclude a mulilib system, this is how all the multilib distros I know of do this.

/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 seems to be missing

After an upgrade, various applications, such as KDE, Amarok, and wine complained about libjpeg.so.62 missing. I checked /usr/lib...and libjpeg.so.62 is missing, even though I have libjpeg installed. How do I fix this?

Please search before posting - there are already quite a few threads about this issue, which is caused by some packages that have yet to be rebuilt against the recent libjpeg 7 upgrade.
Closed.

I'm puzzled about ldd and "/usr/lib/../lib"
