A program that I'm trying to use gives the following error message:

../run: error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I did a bit of Googling on it and it seems libg2c.so.0 is part of the
GCC package. What I don't get is that my SuSE 9.3 installation has the
cpp, gcc, gcc-c++, gcc-info, gcc-java, libgcc, libgcj packages already
installed. I didn't install the colorgcc package.

What could be wrong?

g2c is part of of the fortran77 compiler package g77, which didn't seem to
be installed

Nothing. Install the library if your executable needs it - what's to
google? And how did you "install" it if your system lacks a support
library for it? Your package installer is supposed to stop you ...

I would imagine that libg2c is needed in pascal or fortran compilations.
Install some of that stuff. It's mildly curious that a runtime library
that might be needed isn't installed in a nondeveloper platform, but
then we dn't know what your "program" is. If it were a development
tool, I can imagine that it would complain.

What I don't understand is why you think that because you have SOME gcc
related packages installed, why you should then think that you have ALL
of them. Can you explain that one? (on one sheet of paper please,
single spaced).

Hi Markus. I tried going to Yast and searched for g77 under
"Install/Remove software" but SuSE 9.3 couldn't find anything.

Interestingly, my other PC which is SuSE 9.2 could find modules to add
with a g77 search.

Any suggestions?
