cannot find libdb-4.4.so

[icedtea]

guys i need your opinion, i use slack10.2 to install my apache 1.3.34 (package from the slacksite) but when i was about to start it,(running etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start) here was the message:

error: cannot find standard object file: libdb-4.4.so
/usr/sbin/apachectl

note: i tried finding it...but no result... any idea?

That means you are missing libdb (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdb/).

You can compile it from source or use checkinstall to make a slackware package (not sure how to use it cause I don't need to).

I got the same error messagem after upgranding apache 1.3.33 to apache 1.3.37:

"error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so"

So I got it fixed by instaling the package:

db44-4.4.20-i486-1

Then I got another problem:

"error while loading shared libraries: libmm.so"

I solved the problem by instaling the following package:

mm-1.4.2-i486-1

and upgrading the package

aaa_elflibs-10.2.0-i486-3 to aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-8

Then, the last problem:

"error while loading shared libraries: libldap.so"

Solved by installing this package:

openldap-client-2.3.27-i486-1


I Hope this may help!

As Slackware doesnt have anyway to resolve dependencies it just install the package. You can either find a TGZ at linuxpackages.net or as I do steal the lib from a debian package
