[Centos 5.4] libpcre.so.3 error

[Nich]

Hi,

I have a problem with running a MTA SA server on my VPS(Linux Centos 5.4), when i try to run it, i get:

./mta-server: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've tried reinstalling and upgrading pcre and pcre-devel, but nothing. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Did you tried to install: libpcre3 ?

The host fixed the problem and I got it working, but thanks anyways.

How exactly did your host fix the problem asI am having the exact same problem.

I can't seem to find libpcre3 for cent os 5.4 or any centos for that matter.

I've checked up on yum and i have pcre and pcre-devel install version 6.6 i belive.

if you have yum installer, just install/update pcre and pcre-devel

yum install pcre
yum install pcre-devel

than open /usr/lib directory and find there "libpcre.so.3". If it founded you are done.

If no such file ("libpcre.so.3") there, just find any file (not link) which name starts from "libpcre.so" (for example - libpcre.so.0.0.1, libpcre.so). Make a symbolic links to it for /lib and /usr/lib :

ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /lib/libpcre.so.3

if no "libpcre.so.X.X.X" files in /usr/lib you can find it in /lib. After this make some think like this

ln -s /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3
ln -s /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /lib/libpcre.so.3

and you are done. If some problems still here, you can make same actions for file start with "libpcreposix.so".

tried that.. still not working

I would suggest you simply rebuild your VPS to Debian 5, and backup your files before you do so. Don't do this if you have programs which are only compatible with CentOS.

Good idea!
