Inappropriate?I had the same problem on Fedora 10.
But I solved it by linking to /Songbird/songbird-bin
$ ln -s /usr/share/Songbird/songbird-bin /usr/bin/songbird
Hopefully it will work for you! -
Inappropriate?joao, thanks for the advice.
I hesitate to use this solution since songbird contains quite a lot of shell code and must be there for a reason. I wouldn't like to ignore it.
However, I did try it, and unfortunately it did not work:
songbird: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Executing songbird from the Songbird directory works fine.
Thanks.

I’m sad

Inappropriate?Found this simple solution on here which is to write a script to change to the Songbird directory and then exec songbird.
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/Songbird
./songbird
Don't for get to do chmod u+x on the script to make it executable.
I’m happier
