Description Tom Rymes 2015-12-05 15:40:18 UTC 
As discussed here on the forum: http://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=15377

I noticed this error twice on bootup after moving our main IPFire host to a newly installed Core94 machine:

/usr/sbin/arping: error while loading shared libraries: libnet.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I cannot locate the libnet.so.1 module anywhere on the disk (using updatedb/locate), and Ummeegge confirms that it is commented out here: https://github.com/ipfire/ipfire-2.x/blob/562cc8f7214635af6c167d1c844f589f57a70054/config/rootfiles/common/libnet

Please let me know if I can provide any more details.

Tom

Hi,

seems to be *my* fault, sorry...

Would it be sufficient to uncomment the '/usr/lib/libnet'-libraries (see below) or are more files needed?

config/rootfiles/common/libnet:

#usr/bin/libnet-config
#usr/include/libnet
#usr/include/libnet.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-asn1.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-functions.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-headers.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-macros.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-structures.h
#usr/include/libnet/libnet-types.h
#usr/lib/libnet.a
#usr/lib/libnet.la
usr/lib/libnet.so
usr/lib/libnet.so.1
usr/lib/libnet.so.1.7.0
#usr/share/man/man3/libnet-functions.h.3
#usr/share/man/man3/libnet-macros.h.3
#usr/share/man/man3/libnet.h.3

Regards
Matthias

As far as I can see

...
usr/lib/libnet.so.1
usr/lib/libnet.so.1.7.0
...

should be sufficient!?

Feedback welcome...

Matthias
