libexpat.so.0 missing during gpsbabel install.

29 04 2009

Tried to install GPSBabel Version 1.3.6
on my Fedora 9/10 mixed install.

Though had both expat and expat-devel installed.
A missing libexpat.so.0 kept bothering me.

Though I haad libexpat.so.1, the complains.

Tried to fool it by linking libexpat.so.0 to libexpat.so.1 but failed.

Read somewhere that compat-expat1 would solve the problem. Tried it out. It live up to its name.

Get it from here.
