Suse10.3 And Bitpim Has Error

Ok I installed the RPM for bitpim from the bitpim website. When I try to runbitpim I get the following error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/cx_Freeze-3.0.3/initscripts/ConsoleSetLibPath.py", line 35, in <module>
File "src/bp.py", line 20, in <module>

File "ExtensionLoader_wx__core_.py", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Now I made sure I had libexpat installed. I do have the file :

/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0
/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0.5.0

Now when I searched for just "libexpat" I got:
/lib64/libexpat.so.1
/lib64/libexpat.so.1.5.2
/lib/libexpat.so.1
/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.2
/usr/lib64/libexpat.a
/usr/lib64/libexpat.so
/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0
/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0.5.0

But I can't use the program. Please help in finding out what I am missing.

You need to install libexpat0. But you will run into another problem after that. You will get some stuff that ends up with _md5 missing.

bitpim is a 32 bit app. I fixed mine by adding symbolic link to "/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.2" with command "ln -s libexpat.so.1.5.2 libexpat.so.0". I did this from a root console by changing into the /lib directory.

su
(password)
cd /lib
ln -s libexpat.so.1.5.2 libexpat.so.0

Hope this helps
