I'm trying to run this program called glGo. It's not in Portage, but I just installed it myself. At first, it wouldn't run because it needed libsdl_image and stuff, so I emerge'ed those, and it stopped complaining about them. However, now it's complaining about this library:
Code:
bash-2.05b# glGo
glGo: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The thing is, I *DO* have expat installed. And just to make sure, I emerge'd it *AGAIN*. And still it cannot find it. It found sdl fine after I configured it -- so what's the thing with libexpat? =/

It might be looking in the wrong place for the libraries. Try checking through the makefile (or configure script) to see if there are options you can pass which will tell it where to find various files.
