missing lib

Seems like the software requires a library it can't find. A common place for such libraries is /usr/lib

Have a look in that directory to see if there is a library that looks almost like the one you want, which is
libvgagl.so.1
If there is one, you make a symlink to it, so your program is able to find it with this :

ln -s libvgagl.x.x libvgagl.so.1
(with libvgagl.x.x being the other name you found) then try running the program again

If you should not have that library in /usr/bin you might want to do a search for that file on www.rpmfind.com. That will tell you in which rpm you can find that lib. Then you'll just have to download the appropriate rpm and install it.

Hope that helps

I just installed the new 'add-on' ZGV for Basiclinux. I untarred it as
suggested and tried the command 'zgv' --- nothing. So then I typed
"chmod +x zgv " and tried the command 'zgv'....still nothing. I located
*zgv in my home directory under /usr/bin and tried (from mc) to execute
from there. I get the message "
$: ./zgv
./zgv: can't load library 'libvgagl.so.1'
I get the same result when I try 'seejpg' (not sure if that is the
correct name, my laptop, which I was just looking at had its battery die!)
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Neil T.
