shared library error after compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm

[Scunningham99]

I have encountered a shared library error after installing Oracle's compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm

I get this message after every command. And it wont allow me to remove package

[root@dc1-fin-dora02 rpms]# rpm -e compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
error: package compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm is not installed


[root@dc1-fin-dora02 rpms]# uname -a

Try using the runtime linker to create symlinks for all the shared object libraries. That is done with the ldconfig command i.e. "ldconfig -v

It sounds like you have already removed the package. Does /lib/libcwait.so still exist? If you rpm -qf /lib/libcwait.so does it claim to be owned by any package? If not, I'd simply remove it and the entry in /etc/ld.so.preload and go back to the drawing board.

hi

I have fixed this by issuing

rpm -e compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386

I was trying to remove with the .rpm on the end hence it could not find it!

ie rpm -e compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm

Thanks anyway for your responses....
