SliTaz uses the claws email client - much smaller and less bloated as Evolution or Thunderbird

Hi.

i used this command "tazpkg get-install claws-mail"
and it look like package installation was OK, by return "claws-mail (3.7.4) is installed.". But when i use the command to running the program by typing "claws-mail", the comman promt is shown
................................................................................................
claws-mail: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...............................................................................................

am very newbies for Slitaz. please suggess what els next to do.

tazpkg get-install openssl

done.

and the terminal return ....
........................................................................
openssl is already installed. You can use the --forced option to force
installation or remove it and reinstall.
........................................................................

then i use the command :"tazpkg get-install openssl --forced"
after that look like the installation is done. but when i execu.. the claws, then again it's shown the error as the same before.

....................................................................
root@slitaz:/home/tux# claws-mail
claws-mail: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
............................................................................

please suggess.

Claws-mail is looking for libssl.so.1.0.0
I searched repository there is no libssl.so.1.0.0 you will have to make symlink

root@slitaz: find / -iname  libssl.so*

If it replys

/usr/lib/libssl.so
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

Find the library which is listed twice, is larger than the link,and is pointed to by the arrow.

root@slitaz: ls -l /usr/bin/libssl.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jun 16 17:45 /usr/lib/libssl.so -> libssl.so.0.9.8
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       260660 Mar 28 14:21 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

Make the symlink to the library so Claws-mail finds the library

root@slitaz: ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0

Verify the symlink

root@slitaz: ls -l /usr/bin/libssl.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jun 16 17:45 /usr/lib/libssl.so -> libssl.so.0.9.8
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       260660 Mar 28 14:21 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           24 Jun 18 02:29 /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 -> /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

If libssl.so* is not on your machine find the packages that provide it.

root@slitaz: tazpkg search-pkgname libssl.so

The result is libssl.tazpkg, after you install it you will have to do all the steps above to make the symlink correctly.
You may have to repeat this many times until the program starts.
Don't give up, you will learn fast.

thanks, mojo.

i use the shot cut way by remove the openssl and then re-install the openssl again, now i got the claws-mail running very well.

thangs a lot for all. Have a nice day. ^_^
