  1. hi i followed above instructions..installed all packages..everything went smooth..but when i try to execute
    $> gyachi &
    im geting following error message

    linux-y4bx:/mystuff/gyachi # gyachi: error while loading shared libraries: libgyachi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    linux-y4bx:/mystuff/gyachi # uname -r
    2.6.25.5-1.1-pae

    plz help..

  2. libgyachi.so might be at wrong place or it’s name might be different as expected.
    Try creating a link using ‘ln’ command …I guess you need to make /usr/local/lib/libgyachi.so which will be pointing to /usr/lib/libgyachi.so or vice-versa. Also check if the file is in either of the location with name changed ..may be libgyachi-XX.so..
    just create the link and it will work fine..

  3. hi. it’s necesary gtk2-devel in kde 4 opensuse 11

  4. Didn’t work. Also noticed there are slight differences between the files listed and the actual install. ie: libjpg-devel vs. libjpeg-devel.
    All listed required files have been installed.

  5. At the list of requierd packages that must be installed before downloading gyache you should add automake. Suse 11.1 does not install it by default

  6. You should also includefor SUSE 11.1 in that list:
    libnotify, libnotify-devel, libpulse, libpulse-devel, libgtkhtml, libgtkhtml-devel. All packages should be installed using yast->Software management->search.

  7. Cannot get sound to work keep getting a
    Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files:

    tsd32.dll
    tssoft.acm

    Not in the following directories:
    /usr/lib/win32/
    /usr/local/lib/win32/

  8. Any help with this sound issue of looking for tsd32.dll or tssoft.acm would be much appreciated.

  9. gyachi: error while loading shared libraries: libgyachi.so: cannot open shared object file.

    Take these steps :

    1) ./autogen.sh

    2) ./configure –enable-maintainer-mode –libdir=/usr/lib

    3) make install

    That fixed the problem for me.

    By the way , why your site is blocked to Iranians? im surfing anonymously right now to post here!

  10. hi, I had followed all previous steps & done till ./autogen.su
    after that I am getting this message:- I am using opensuse11.1
    am I doing any thing wrong? pl let me know

    ./configure –enable-maintainer-mode –libdir=/usr/lib/
    configure: WARNING: you should use –build, –host, –target
    configure: WARNING: invalid host type: –enable-maintainer-mode
    configure: error: invalid variable name: –libdir

    thanks.

  11. ./configure –enable-maintainer-mode –libdir=/usr/lib

    correct this to

    ./configure -–enable-maintainer-mode -–libdir=/usr/lib

    see the double “–” instaed of single.

  12. I’m ok until this point:

    linux-x205:/home/user/Downloads/gyachi-1.1.71 # make

    result:

    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

  13. well i had the same problem

    i installed make from the repository and evetythin is quite fine now

  14. I’m getting error on running ./autogen.sh itself

    it’s saying some macros like AM_PATH_GTK_2_0 are undefined…
