idb fails in Ubuntu linux

[mhadian]

i installed Intel Fortran compiler 9 and idb successfully in ubuntu linux. but idb fails to come up with following message: "/opt/intel/idb/9.0/bin/iidb: error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
i did not have such a problem in suse.

The expected location of this library is /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 (e.g SuSE 9.2). If you didn't install X window support, that would account for the problem. Did you run ldd on your iidb?

[mhadian]

i think the x window support is installed by default in ubuntu. this is the result of ldd on iidb in my system:

i have libXft.so.2 in my /usr/lib which is a link to /usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2
is it possible that idb use this one instead of libXft.so.1? if yes, how i can do it?

[mhadian]

i installed the package libxft1 and now the idb works well.
i will appreciate if you let me know how i could use the idb using libxft2 which is installed by default in ubuntu.

This is also a problem for me.

I have the same problem on Debian testing system. I have libXft2 installed and found that the usage of libXft1 is discouraged. Another problem is that libXft1 is conflicting with my current settings.

You might want to try symbolic link:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 /usr/lib/libXft.so.1
