Re: Garnome 2.16 - /usr/lib/libpopt.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Let's go on a hunt for popt in libtool and pkg_config files.

Let:  $garnome == root of the GARNOME install tree

(1) cd $garnome/lib
grep -l popt *.la

This will provide a list of libtool files that have the string "popt" in
them.  

For each file in the list:
* open the file in an editor
* look for popt
* which lib, 32-bit or 64-bit, will be picked up
* can you fix this by altering a path or adding a "-L" construct?



(2) cd $garnome/lib/pkgconfig

grep -l popt *

This will provide a list of libtool files that have the string "popt" in
them.  

For each file in the list:
* open the file in an editor
* look for popt
* see which lib, 32-bit or 64-bit, will be picked up
* can you fix this by altering a path or adding a "-L" construct?

Once you find the problem files and fix them, you may be able to
proceed. You will also need to figure out how they got that way.


We are learning that 64-bit OpenSuSe has some issues.
