Error Message Delight

Date: 1/7/2004

Well I feel silly don't I. I was poking around in Zeta trying to get some code in liblgi.so to run and just wasn't getting anywhere. So I thought:

$ ldd ./iftp
iftp :
        libbe.so => /boot/beos/system/lib/libbe.so
        libroot.so => /boot/beos/system/lib/libroot.so
        libtextencoding.so => /boot/beos/system/lib/libtextencoding.so
        libpng.so => /boot/beos/system/lib/libpng.so
        liblgi.so => NOT FOUND

Hmmm. That'd do it. So, what the? How... Huh?

$ set | grep LIBRARY_
LIBRARY_PATH=%A/lib:/boot/home/config/lib:/boot/beos/system/lib

Ok, so %A/add-ons isn't in the path anymore. Grumble.

So I've got i.Ftp running again. It needs some work but it's the normal sort of debugging now. I think Zeta needs a better error message than "" for when a library is missing.
