Description edwin 2003-09-07 04:50:12 UTC 
When you try to start a program with a missing library, this is the
error message you get:

    /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.4" not found

You can find out that it is missing by using ldd (and exactly which
other library it requires by running ldd with the patch in bin/37448).

But yes, life could be so much nicer if it would tell you who was
missing it:

    /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.4" not found, needed by "/usr/X11R6/lib/libgnomemm-1.2.so.10"

At least I know I have to fight with libgnomemm instead of with the
original program.
