I'm not 100% sure I'm following this right, but:
*If* liblinc.so.1 is indicated as not found
*And* liblinc.so.1.0.0 was installed by SuSE, but not a liblinc.so.1
*Then* a symbolic link is missing
A symbolic link is a special kind of file that just acts as a pointer to
another file or directory. Normally there is a #?.so.? which is a link to the
#?.so.?.?.? file.
*If* those files are in place
*And* you get a message about unable to open the library
*Then* the problem may be linux doesn't know where to look for it
Try typing the following at a commandline:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and see if the directory (/opt/gnome/lib64) is included. If it isn't you can
try adding the path to the RunPageStream script. The script line should look
something like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
$PGSPATH/SoftLogik/lib:/opt/gnome/lib64
(all on one line, its too long for email)
That does rather look like a gnome issue so trying the SuSE support is a good
idea.
