There are many times with we get .so.2 linked library error, this is because of the missing package that provides the shared library files. To find out with package provides which shared libraries.
Go to the following link, in the search field select Provides and give library file name
http://rpm.rutgers.edu/rpm2php/?searchby=provides&searchval=libiconv.so.2
The search will provide you package name to be installed.
The following example show how this works
Example:
bash-3.00# gpg –import mirror
ld.so.1: gpg: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
In the given example there’s a libiconv.so.2 error. To find out the dependencies of the application use
ldd : list dynamic dependencies of executable files or shared objects.
bash-3.00# ldd /usr/local/bin/gpg
libiconv.so.2 => (file not found)
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libz.so => /usr/lib/libz.so
libreadline.so.5 => (file not found)
libcurses.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2
libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1
libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1
libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1
libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1
As you can see there are two dependencies missing for executable file gpg
libiconv.so.2 => (file not found)
libreadline.so.5 => (file not found)
Find out what packages provide both the libraries using link provided above
Library libiconv.so.2 is provided by libiconv package and
Library libreadline.so.5 is provided by readline5 package
Install both the package using pkg-get
bash-3.00# pkg-get install libiconv
Sorry, there are multiple versions possible
Please specify one, in the following syntax
pkg-get install libiconv-1.11
pkg-get install libiconv-1.8
pkg-get install libiconv-1.9.2
bash-3.00# pkg-get install libiconv-1.11
