Re: Problem with 2.99.1 installation

Thank you for that.

After making and installing Rhythmbox wouldn't sttrat up so I ran it 
from Terminal and I received the following error:

rhythmbox: error while loading shared libraries: librhythmbox-core.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I fixed it simply with the following command in Terminal

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/librhythmbox-core.so.7 /usr/lib


Hope this is a help to someone.


All the best,
