[Solved] Does Chromium browser work on KDE MiniMe?

[daveski]

I installed MiniMe, the 2012.12 version, as a test on the Oracle VM and updated via Synaptic, then installed the Chromium browser.  But when I try to run Chromium, its icon pulsates as if it is going to open, but Chromium never appears on the desktop.  The Konqueror browser does work, however.  Does anyone have Chromium working with MiniMe?  Thanks,  David

Open it in a terminal and copy and paste whatever error message is produced

chromium-browser

[daveski]

Just17.

Here is the output:
[daveski@localhost ~]$ chromium-browser
/usr/bin/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libevent.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I hope this helps.  David

What does

Code: [Select]

locate libevent.so.5
produce?

On my install, it is the following:

[jpaglia@paglia-e6500 ~]$ locate libevent.so.5
/usr/lib/libevent.so.5
/usr/lib/libevent.so.5.0.1
[jpaglia@paglia-e6500 ~]$

Also, check Synaptic.  Do you have libevent installed?  I have libevent2 and libevent5.

...looks like libevent5 is the package that provide this library...

Then Chromium should be considered a Broken Package, if it doesn't pull in required dependencies...

In Synaptic, I added   libevent-devel   and  libevent5.  And then Chromium opened correctly.  Thanks for the help.  David
