Kubuntu problem, help needed - necronzero - 03-29-2009

So i tried clicking the Dolphin executable but it didn't run, so i went to terminal and tried running from there and got this error

/home/fenrir/Desktop/Binary/Linux-i686/Dolphin: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fenrir@fenrir-desktop:~$

What do i do to get it to work???

Well I'm no linux buff, but it looks like you need to update your Blutooth librarys (for the Wiimote input I suppose).

Hello Necronzero,

first you should verify that you have installed the package 'libbluetooth2'. Open up Konsole, KDE's terminal emulator, and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth2

Then enter your /usr/lib/ directory:

Code:
cd /usr/lib/

Next, you will make something called a 'symbolic link'. This will tell any program looking for libbluetooth.so.3 to use libbluetooth.so.2 instead:

Code:
ln -s libbluetooth.so.2 libbluetooth.so.3

Now you can run Dolphin, provided all other dependencies are satisfied. If, in the future, you experience another missing library error, go to http://packages.debian.org/, scroll down to 'Search the contents of packages' and enter the library's .so-name. You can then enter the package name in KPackage (Qt / KDE version) or Synaptic (GTK / Gnome, Xfce version) to install it.

Let us know how whether it worked out.
