Hello everybody,

the newest BOINC software wasn't running with SuSE 11.0 anymore. So I decided to install the newer OS 11.4. Now updating to BOINC 7.0.28 (i686).
The messages are now: ./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This lib is installed ...
sirius:~/BOINC> cd /usr/lib/wx-2.8-stl/

I set up some environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB_PATH and LIBPATH but with no effect.

sirius:/usr/lib # ll libwx*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jul 30 16:15 libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 -> wx-2.8-stl/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jul 30 16:15 libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 -> wx-2.8-stl/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 30 16:15 libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 -> wx-2.8-stl/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0

Now as root I linked all files one after the other in /usr/lib/wx-2.8-stl to /usr/lib.
The newest message now is still
sirius:~/BOINC> ./run_manager
./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? Don't know why SuSE uses a subdir for locating this .so files.

One should read exactly, More libs are missing ...
sirius:/usr/lib # zypper in libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0

But now there is still at least one problem:

sirius:/usr/lib # zypper in libnotify.so.4
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'libnotify.so.4' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'libnotify.so.4' found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Okay, next step was to link libnotify.so.1.2.3 to libnotify.so.4
The newerly message is
sirius:~/BOINC> ./run_manager
./boincmgr: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./boincmgr)

Linking libc.so to libc.so.6 (in /lib) has no effect anymore.

Try to update your libraries first. That libc.so.6 is called that way does not mean it's the latest version which holds all info about the newer Glibc updates.

Today I updated the whole system completely with "zyyper dup". So that might not be the solution. But I will read in your linked articles. ty

After reading some interesting FAQ there is still no solution.
Trying to update libc shows that the needed version is already installed.

sirius:~ # zypper in libc.so.6
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'libc.so.6' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
'glibc' providing 'libc.so.6' is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Well, in that case you can only run a lower version of BOINC, until Suse is updated. The Glibc versions that are required are 2.14 and 2.15. Of course, you could try to build BOINC from source code with your local libraries.

By the way, I did not link to any articles. It's my signature that I post with. When I give you links to follow, I'll put them in the main text.
