FireFox 4: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Tim Evans]

Newly installed Fedora 14

# uname -a

Linux osprey.tkevans.com 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 22 
16:01:29 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

FireFox 4 (downloaded directly from mozilla.com) reports the above 
error, even though the shared library file is right there:

# find /usr -depth -name libdbus-glib-1.so.2 -ls
792651    0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           23 Apr 23 10:59 
./lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 -> libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0

What am I missing?

It's dbus-glib.i686 (rather than '386'), but that appears to have done

it.  Thanks.

Quite probably the 32bit version of that Library (and possibly
others). Try finding the owning RPM with "rpm -qif
/usr/lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0" and then installing the i386
version with "yum install foo.i386".
