My SOBJS: has python25.so and ibz.so.1.2.3, no libz.so.1, but executing Python yields complaints about not loading libz.so.1 and libpython25.so.

3.OS4.1FE_ssd:> LISTDYNDEP OS4.1FE_ssd:c/Python
OS4.1FE_ssd:c/Python V2
libpython25.so
libexpat.so
libz.so.1
libdl.so
libpthread.so
libgcc.so
libc.so
3.OS4.1FE_ssd:>LIST SOBJS:#?python#?
Directory "sobjs:" on Saturday 08-Apr-17
libpython25.so 2046748 ----rwed 22-Nov-14 23:00:00
3.OS4.1FE_ssd:>

On a lark I XCOPY libz.so.1.2.3 libz.so.1 which then got me to a Python prompt.

Question 1: Where is my libz.so.1?
Question 2: Why the complaint about libpython25.so which is there?

@ggw

it seems your sobjs have been somehow removed.
checking with os4.1 FEu1.

there is a script which fixes broken softlinks in your sobjs folder. here it is. just save it and start it from inside your sys:sobjs folder. asuming that you have not changed the system default libs!:

@MichaelMerkel

Your help was perfect.

Soft links are most useful with shared objects. I don't use them for my usual Amiga experience (nor at my work where I am a software developer) because of the extra work when involved with backups and confusion in coworkers who lack working knowledge of the implications of soft links.

Since I don't know why my setup lacked the softlinks in SOBJS:, a reinstall is probably on the horizon.

Thank you.
