I have installed wammu successfully but on running it I get the following error messages:
david[~]$ wammu
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
david[~]$

So it looks like it is looking for the wrong version of libbluetooth (amongst other things).
The version of libbluetooth installed is:
root[bluetooth]# slocate libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3.7.0
root[bluetooth]#

Any ideas how to fix this ?


Thanks.

Please run: to get the newest gammu package available. Thanks for the report.

Thanks gapan.
Working O.K. now

I have to add that I can't maintain [gw]ammu anymore, as my new mobile phone got stolen, quite a while ago already and thus the only phone I own is a pretty old phone which isn't compatible with gammu nor computers in general I guess.
Anybody is free to overtake gammu and wammu. Otherwise it has to be removed from the repositories at some point in the hopefully far future, when rebuilding isn't anymore enough.
