hi maspai,

please provide your porteus version and download link for pulseaudio package.
i suspect it's not coming from our repos or you had corrupted download.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

i have porteus 1.2 xfce 32 bit.
i got the pulseaudio package from slacky, while in /etc/ppm/slacky.conf:

Code: Select all

REPO=http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky
REPO=http://repository.slacky.eu
i found no pulseaudio in porteus repo nor slackware repo.

i remove pulseaudio & try to reinstall it. i get pulseaudio from slacky & then ppm says there are 3 missing deps: libasyncns, liblirc_client, libtdb. i then activate pulseaudio module & ppm searches the deps, 3 found: libasyncns, lirc, samba (well, i have no idea why samba is there), then the 3 are installed.
i try run pulseaudio from terminal, it says:

Code: Select all

pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libtdb.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i search for libtdb, found only in debian (libtdb1_1.2.10-2_i386.deb). i press "download package" button, "convert to module" button, & then activate it. but running pulseaudio returns the same message, reactivating it also returns the same.

libtdb.so.1 is a part of samba package so please try to get it from here:

if that wont help then i would suggest you compiling package pulseaudio from slackbuilds.
this way you wont have to resolve missing deps as resulting package will fit your current setup (some functionality will be cut-off but you probably do not need extras like samba or lirc support)

Cheers

You may also try a dirtier but quicker way.

Search your system for libtdb.so.*

Code: Select all

find /usr/lib -type f -name "libtdb.so.*"
If the library found is not .so.1 then you could symlink the library found.

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/libtdb.so.x /usr/lib/libtdb.so.1
Where .so.x is the library that was found.

The preferred way would be to install the required libraries or compile locally as suggested.
