In regard to: New to RPMs - Dependencies in my own rpm, Linux said (at...:
I am attempting to create an RPM with a binary and a dependent shared
library.
%files
/mypath/bin
/mypath/lib
In the bin directory, is my program:
myprog
In the library, is my library plus links to the library
mylib.so.2.1.1 (actually library)
mylib.so (link to the library)
When I try to install the rpm, it says that mylib.so is required by the
rpm to install, but it is in the rpm.
If I querry the package to see what it provides, it provides
mylib.so.2.1.1
But the link is what is "needed" by the package. How do I get the rpm to
know that it also provides the link? Or am I linking the executable
incorrectly?
It's more likely you're building the library incorrectly. Does your
library have a SONAME? If not, you need to build it so that is has one,
and then relink myprog. That will probably fix the issue you're having.
Basically, running
ldd myprog
and
objdump -p mylib.so.2.1.1 | egrep SONAME
should both agree for mylib.
