error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0

[hooge789]

Hi firefoxers,

I downloaded firefox but when I run firefox executable I get following message:

firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am working on RedHat 4.0
uname -a
Linux crx1055 2.6.9-67.EL #1 Wed Nov 7 13:41:13 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I guess there is a library libpangocairo-1.0.so missing. If it's true where can I get it and where do I need to copy it ?

Thanks.
Thomas

I'm assuming you were trying to install Firefox 3.x? Is there a reason why you didn't install it via your package manager?

You need to install pango. You might also need to install cairo.

It would probably be easier to update Red Hat 4.0 from 2007 to a more recent version to get all current libraries.

Bluefang, dickvl,

Thanks for your help.

Bluefang, I am not able to use package manager. I am not admin on my station, all installing tools require admin rights. But I can copy all needed instalation files in my local area and try to link missing library or files to where it has to be.

How can I make pango (or missing library) visible for fire fox. Is it expected in a environment variable or is it sourced in one of installation files of firefox ?

dickvl, it is not easy for me to get installed an upgrade of RH4. It will take some time.


By the way, can you see with uname -a in my initial mail if my RH is 32 bits or 64 bits ? How 2 know?

Thanks again,
Thomas
