Error while trying to run server

[Guest]

Hi, I'm in the midst of trying to start a server on a dedicated linux box, but im having difficulties getting it to start.

Im running Fedora Core and I have installed xerces-c (latest ver), GNUMake, and Autoconf.

However i get the following error whenever i run the startup script : ./mta_server: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.27: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any help is appreciated

I have the same error, and I never got any help so I gave up trying to run the server a while ago.

hey Jani, well hopefully some nice chap will come along and show us where we went wrong... anyone? no?

are you sure you installed the server on your comp and not on a network? when i tried to open my server on my dads laptop (over the network) i got that error. Not sure this'll help but i think it might be the prob...

Ok,

I had this problem to, it was alot of work to fix this. But i fixed it in a different way.

1. cd /usr/lib
2. wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/dag/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/RPMS/xerces-c-2.7.0-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm
3. rpm -i xerces-c-2.7.0-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

And i was done

This will only work for Fedora, but its a nice solution. For other distributions, just install Xerxes as the requirements of th server tell you to.

For Debian:

apt-get install libxerces26

Fot gentoo you can emerge the libxerces26 package.
