LDView error "libboost_thread-mt.so"
For those who use LDView on Slackware-current and noticed that it suddenly stopped working: the problem is in the latest update of the “boost” library:
+--------------------------+ Thu Dec 17 20:51:37 UTC 2009 ... l/boost-1.41.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This latest update does not include the *-mt (=multi-thread) libraries, as the “normal” version is already multi-threaded.
The solution to get LDView working again is simply rebuild it from the SlackBuild:
- Download the SlackBuild script & untar it
- Download the source for LDView
- run the SlackBuild as:
# BUILD=2 ./LDView.SlackBuild
- use upgradepkg to upgrade your LDView
