Libraries are packaged differently by your OS. For fedora, if you're missing library A
, you often will find packages named libA
and libA-devel
. Luckily, you don't need to guess - instead just ask yum what packages has some file of interest. Below, I asked about the shared object file libiw.so
.
yum whatprovides *libiw.so*
...
1:wireless-tools-devel-29-9.1.fc19.x86_64 : Development headers for the
: wireless-tools package
Repo : fedora
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/lib64/libiw.so
1:wireless-tools-29-9.1.fc19.x86_64 : Wireless ethernet configuration tools
Repo : installed
Matched from:
Provides : libiw.so.29()(64bit)
Filename : /lib64/libiw.so.29
I'm surprised Fedora would install without these packages, but if that's the case then obtaining the packages is just a yum install
command away.
