Hello, I have Salix Xfce 14.0.1 CD ISO (i686, 32-bit) but when installing some programs I get error message: "cannot find the library".
for example: when installing program etherape from Sourcery Slackbuild Manager I get error message: " cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.la' "
Can you please help me solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

etherape depends on libgnomeui, which hasn't been packaged yet for 14.1. However, do try installing libgnome-keyring, which has - who knows, it may just work then.

In general, a lot of things aren't ready yet that might be needed for various SlackBuilds, which explains why you've been having other similar problems too. Nonetheless, your report is helpful, because it lets the team know there is a demand for those packages.

mimosa, he's using 14.0, not 14.1.

But the question is still valid. Do you have libgnome-keyring installed?
