Hello all:
I am hoping it is OK to discuss this here. I came across this problem
when I was building a custom spin where the kickstart file installs
'openmpi' before 'emacs'.
When I start emacs, here is what I get:
$emacs
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libotf.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
So, this library is missing. However, this should have been installed
as its a dependency, right?
It can be seen that there are two providers listed for libotf.so.0.
Since 'openmpi' was already installed, so it didn't bother installing
'libotf'. I could simulate the scenario on a Fedora 15 installation:
Step1: Dependency listing
---------------------------------
$yum deplist emacs
dependency: libotf.so.0
provider: openmpi.i686 1.5-3.fc15
provider: libotf.i686 0.9.12-2.fc15
To verify this scenario, the next step attempts to install emacs on a
machine without emacs, libotf and openmpi:
Step 2: Installing emacs
------------------------------
[gene@soma ~]$ sudo yum install emacs
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

all good here.
(I don't proceed with the install)
Step 3: Installing openmpi
------------------------------
Next, I just install openmpi, which is listed as a provider for libotf.so.0:
[gene@soma ~]$ sudo yum install openmpi
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Step 4: Installing Emacs after installing openmpi
---------------------------------------------------------------
[gene@soma ~]$ sudo yum install emacs

It doesn;t list the dependeny anymore on libotf.so.0, since openmpi is
already installed.
And the result:
$emacs
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libotf.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
I also noted this discrepancy:
$sudo yum whatprovides libotf.so.0
