Library Hell

[hkphooey]

I\'m confused, and I need a bit of guidance here. I\'m trying to coax Wellenreiter II to run on my SL5600 running a Sharp ROM. First of all I tried loading the ipk files, starting with the libopie libraries from the package manager.  No dice, but then again no surprises. These are the files -- the latest ones I can find on the wellenreiter site.
   

libopie1_0.9.9-20030718.1_arm.ipk
    libopie2_1.8.1-20030718.2_arm.ipk
    libopiecore2_1.8.1-20031104.2_arm.ipk
    opie-wellenreiter-help-en_0.9.9-20030718_arm.ipk
    opie-wellenreiter_0.9.9-20030718_arm.ipk
Dropping to the command line, I try
   
It fails with dependency problems (I knew a girl like that once ...) It needs    
 
libqte2 (]=2.3.2)
  libqpe1
  opie-pics
Now here\'s the weird bit. There are many directories which contain libraries. So far I\'ve found
   
/home/QtPalmtop/lib
   /opt/QtPalmtop/lib
   /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/lib
   /lib
   /usr/lib
The first of these, /home/QtPalmtop/lib contains symlinks for qte libraries:
 
/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqte.so.2 -] libqte.so.2.3.2
  /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqte.so.2.3 -] libqte.so.2.3.2
/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqte.so.2.3.2-]/usr/QtPalmtop.rom/lib/libqte.so.2.3.2
Which looks OK to me. The file which all these point to is there.

So ... why can\'t my Zaurus find this library? I\'ve tried a ldconfig -v . From this I can see that libraries in /home/QtPalmtop are being processed, however it only loads two or three from that directory, and definitely no mention of the libqte I\'m interested in.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Sharp used a pretty arbitrary naming scheme in their ipk packages. The Opie and OpenZaurus teams corrected that in later releases. Just -force-depends the installation of libopie1.
