[gentoo-user] strange library dependencies

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I've just emerged app-text/djview4 which went through without any 
errors.

But invoking djview4 fails due to missing libraries

libdjvulibre.so.15   and  libtiff.so.3

On my system there the more recent versions
libdjvulibre.so.21    libtiff.so.5

I don't understand how something that's just got compiled and 
linked may refer to libraries which are not present.

I've searched for dependencies on app-text/djvu (which provides 
libdjvulibre.so) but I haven't found anything except djview4 which has 
just been installed.

Many thanks for info on these strange situation.

Helmut.
