I updated the version of KDE on my box (5.2.1-RELEASE) to 3.4, and I'm
getting the following result when running vncserver:
> Could not open library kcminit.la: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found
> /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found
> Could not open library ksmserver.la: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found
> /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found
> startkde: Shutting down...
I found that I have libm.so.2, and I tried to find out how I could
update that file. I had presumed that updating KDE itself would
recursively handle it (I cvsup then do make clean && make && make
install in the port's directory). But now a web search of this
particular problem suggests that the only way to fix it is to update the
entire OS, and I don't want to do that. Things break when I try to do
major updates (I had huge nightmares when I upped versions of php and
perl to 5 and 5.8, respectively), and my server setup is smooth enough
that I don't want to take any unnecessary risks to get client apps to work.
So is there a port that will provide this file?
