Packages not linking when installed to SD

[Xumbi]

I have noticed that some applications don't seem to link correctly when installed to my SD card.  For example, I installed gimp to SD, now when I try to run it from the command line I see that it can't find libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0.  After a little playing around I found that this is part of the gimp package, so I ran ipkg-link add gimp.  That gets rid of the first error, but now it's looking for libart_lgpl_2.so.2.  Running ipkg-link add libart-lgpl gets rid of that error, and gimp loads successfully.  However, if I reboot I have to the same thing all over again.

I have been using this SD card for a long time, it is formatted ext3, so I don't think it's the card.

Any ideas?

well, you'd have to symbolically link them... so figure out where they're at.. and where they need to be and type    ln -s whereat whereneedtobe

only help i can offer, im a noob at pdaXrom

this may not be anything different from what was said..

but is
ipkg-link mount /mnt/card

different from
ipkg-link add gimp ?

the mount /mnt/card seems to find everything that is installed on the target
and "add" it..

I've installed gimp to sd (older pdax) and not have any issues running it.
(again, not sure if this is an rc5 thing, or general)

But, yes, you could probably symlink from /usr/lib to other locations if
the other locations are not standard.
