Title: Problems With Getting Konqueror
Post by: quasarlyte on June 18, 2005, 07:50:31 pm

Hey guys..

    I searched the forum for getting web browsers to work on OPIE 3.5.3 and I ran into a problem different from other users.  Since I click on the icon, the program runs for a second on the task bar and then disappears.
So I tried running it on the command line. I just typed in Konqueror and i got this:

konqueror: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(Since I dont know much about this stuff, the first thing I tried was reinstalling it, but didn't work)

Any ideas?

Many thanks

if you installed it to someplace besides / ("root") make sure that libpcre.so.0 is linked into place.  Also try running ldconfig from the command line just for fun.

I got this same error till I found the answer on the forum.  I was installing my programs to my sd card and not root.  The sd card was formatted in FAT and not ext2.  In order to properly link the packages, it must be formatted in ext2.  Another issue is the GUI package manager in opie, which (according to multiple posts) is not very stable for installing software.   So, I downloaded konqueror and its dependancies and installed them to the sd card via the command line:

Code: [Select]

ipkg -d sd install name-of-package.ipkg
Then link after each install

Code: [Select]

ipkg-link add name-of-package
Hope this helps
