I've been hunting this down on the internet, but haven't had any success, so I'm going to ask here. Does anyone on this list know anything about giFTui? I've tried running it, but get this error: giftui: error while loading shared libraries: liblinc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I can not determine how to get this shared library on my system. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Rebuild from SRPM.

I was advised that installing from anything other than Yum or prebuilt RPMs would lead to system instability.
Rebuilding from SRPM and building your own RPM are two additional options many don't consider worth mentioning because most people are incapable of carrying them out.

Hmm... my guess would be that I'm incapable of carrying them out. I'm the worst kind of newbie - one who doesn't know anything, but isn't afraid to go stomping through systems I don't understand.
Getting back to the original question... I seem to be missing just one library. Is it not possible to just get that library from another source? Or do I not understand the implications of missing that library file.

---- Generally, the missing libraries are in the associated 'devel' rpm's
Generally, it's better to use rpm's because they are easily to install and remove and give you information about dependencies.
Generally, when using an rpm system like fedora, or RHEL (CentOS), it's better to find the instructions for installing from either the developers, the mail list or FAQ of the project or asking a list like this so you might find someone who has already installed it or can identify already built rpms for you.

According to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-46203.html liblinc is an old (obsolete?) library.
You can either
A. Get the old library from FC2 and use that
or
B. Rebuild the SRPM so that it doesn't link against this old library and uses whatever new features are available to it.
Personally, I would choose B.
The easiest way to do this is as root: # rpmbuild --rebuild foo-1.0-1.src.rpm # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm
I went ahead and did this for giFTui-0.4.1 for you...

Oh... I thought rebuilding RPMs involved a lot of programming knowledge or something. Lord knows configuring and making binaries is tricky, at least for a newbie. Does that pattern you've written above apply for most package rebuilds?

Hey, thanks! That's really cool of you.
But, as is often the case with my Linux experience, I'm on to the next error:
[dave@localhost ~]$ giftui giftui : No host to connect /apps/giftui/daemon/host. *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x089f4448 *** Aborted
Perhaps giFTui is just too beta to be used by me. Anyone recommend a good peer to peer software for all the non-bittorrent networks, like gnutella and eDonkey?

Pretty much, yep. In general it goes like this:
rpmbuild --rebuild foo-version.src.rpm rpmbuild -ba foo.spec rpmbuild -ta foo-version.tar.gz

Dunno, but on the giftui site you might want to check out the 2nd post on the main page and see if that fixes your problem.

Oh... hey, that works. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I slipped into newbie panic mode and forgot that I could like, look on the internet for solutions.
Thank you for the suggestion. Hmmm... yes, I was thinking of one of those, but the ideal is a client that will search multiple networks, instead of having a client for each network. Theoretically giFT does that. We shall see.

---- that of course is a generalization and an opinion. This also reflects the state of Linux rpm packaging which is not entirely accessible to Linux users.
I agree that a lot of people don't know how to do it. I don't know about the 'most people' as I think people could actually do it if they knew how and of course one of the more confusing things for people is fishing out the finished RPM's from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/arch
