| | Hi,
| | 
| | I have built gnumeric from source finally but I now get:
| | 
| | 
| | su% gnumeric
| | Shared object "libxml2.so.8" not found
| | su%
| | 
| | 
| | any ideas folks?
| 
|  No sweat.  
| 
|  Assuming that you have already installed dependencies of Gnumeric via pkgsrc, and 

   or precompiled binaries

| you want to install Gnumeric from source by hand.
| 
|   % cd Gnumeric-$VERSION
|   % env LDFLAGS="-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib" ./configure option
|   % make
|   # make install
| 
|  This will do the trick.
| 
|  Read NetBSD FAQ.

|       ---> My program can't find its shared library
| 
|  When you have another error that does not find shared libraries in other directories,
| "-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib,/PATH/to/lib,/PATH/to/lib" will be needed.
| 
| Good luck!
