The other day I tried to install K3B on my x86_64 laptop, and midway through it I got some errors, so I ran pacman -Sy k3b and it got about midway through before I started getting error messages about the computer not being able to find libreadline.so. I use zsh as my shell for my normal user, but bash for root, and I couldn't login as root anymore. I shutdown the machine (sudo worked, thankfully, but not sudo -s), but now when I boot I get errors when it tries to enter runlevel 3 (I haven't played with any runlevel stuff): /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory INIT: Entering runlvel: 3 /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I could just wipe / and start over, but I'd prefer to find a better way to deal with this. I haven't installed anything on my desktop (x86_64 as well) for fear this is will trash that machine as well. Any suggestions? -- Samuel 'Shardz' Baldwin - staticfree.info/~samuel
