Hi,

I'm trying to get !YTPlay to work. It complains that

SharedLibs:lib.ld-riscos/so/1

is not found as does Python.

I looked in Packman & there are several Shared Libs there. How do I
ascertain which, if any, is the one I want?

It's in the SharedLibs package.

http://www.riscos.info/packages/arm/Develop/gcc/SharedLibs_4.0-Rel5-1.zip
although you should ideally install it via PackMan.

Thanks. I presume that's the same as "The shared libraries directory &
ELF loader" which is the first one in PackMan.

Yes, but if you've installed Python via PackMan, it will sort the shared
libraries out for you (assuming that you've not confused the system by
hand-installing any shared libraries at some point).

You can also install YTPlay via the package on Raik's site (not the manual
Zip file): drag the package to PackMan, and it will sort the packaged
dependencies out for you and leave you to do the manual bits at the end.
It's the file marked as

Download als RISC OS Package-file (without "Lite"): YTPlay

Thanks, Steve. I was watching Dog Webb's presentation on the WROCC videos
& then I stumbled across YTPlay pre-installed on my RiscOSBits Pi Hard,
presumably by Andy. Pythons3 & 27 were in the same directory but I know
not at this stage if they've been properly installed. I'll continue to
'speriment when time permits.

It might be worth waiting for the June issue of The WROCC, which I'm editing
this week: Doug's post-meeting notes should be included and are quite
detailed (thanks, Doug!). There's also a comment in them about pre-existing
installations of Python being unhelpful.

The problem with packaging stuff is getting things that were installed
pre-packaging under control at the start. RISC OS is the only platform where
this is an issue (on Windows or Linux you'll install the OS via package
management to start with), sadly.

Will do. Thanks for all your hard work.

That might explain a lot. Bit of a gotcha.
