Title: xrdb requires libmpfr.so.4 but libmpfr.so.6 is only available from mpfr-4.0.1-1
Post by: conky60 on 14 May 2018, 21:00:59
As the title.....xrdb wants libmpfr.so.4, but mpfr-4.0.1-1 only supplies libmpfr.so.6
I created a symlink libmpfr.so.4 pointing to libmpfr.so.6.0.1 so xrdb can run....not ideal I know.

Best regards.

are you shure? xorg-xrdb-1.1.1 from Artix?

[alium@notebook pkg]$ xrdb
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.1.0/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(after pacman -Rdd mpfr), mpfr-4.0.1

I am using xorg-xrdb-1.1.1-1 from Artix "system" repo. When I tried running
Code: [Select]
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
It complained about not finding libmpfr.so.4
After creating the symlink it worked fine.

Best regards

strange, for me xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources works normally, hmm...

"It complained about not finding libmpfr.so.4" - i am understand, but  on my system need xrdb libmpfr.so.6, not libmpfr.so.4.

It is indeed strange. Just to recheck I renamed the symlink to test.
The following is the output of the previous command:
Code: [Select]
[conky60@Artix Linux ~]$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.1.0/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

???

Best regards.
