Hi,

I use Slackware 12.2 and just installed the Google Chrome browser from one
of the known repositories (slacky.it I think) but experienced the following
error when trying to start the browser:
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries:
libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this a knows issue? I couldn't find this particular library as
slackware .tgz installation bundle. Does anyone know if it exists anywhere?

Many thanks,
Tuxedo

Thanks for the tip! Google Chrome now works fine after installing orbit2.x
and thereafter gconf-2.x, although there are some errors, but they only
appear to be unimportant some internal browser related debugging messages
rather than any system dependency errors (included below).

I like Google Chrome as start up takes only fraction of a second :-)

Good question! After all, Google, unlike the Mozilla Foundation, is of
course a commercial organisation. Options in the "Under the Hood" section
include "Enable phishing and malware protection and various "Privacy"
functions to "improve browsing experience". That said, generally I tend to
trust Google in thinking their philosophy in doing the right thing still
holds true. That said, it's still not my default browser.
