1) What does...
ldd /usr/bin/pan | grep enchant
... return? (Adjust the path as appropriate.)
Here, with a "reverse usr merge" of everything normally in /usr to / via
a /usr -> . symlink, I use this command, with this output:
ldd /bin/pan | grep enchant
libenchant.so.1 => /lib64/libenchant.so.1 (0xsome-hex-number)
On your system it should presumably be /usr/lib64/libenchant.so.1, or
similar. But it's likely to not have a path since it doesn't seem to
find the file.
2) What does your package manager tell you about your enchant or
libenchant package and its *.so* files? Here, using gentoo, I use the
equery tool (other distros will have other package manager database query
tools, use what's appropriate for your distro and package manager) like
so:
equery belongs libenchant.so.1
app-text/enchant-1.6.1 (/usr/lib64/libenchant.so.1 -> libenchant.so.1.6.1)
So it's the enchant package, and the file is actually a symlink to the
actual major.minor.micro library version. Let's see what equery says
about the *.so* files in that package.
equery -N files enchant | grep 'enchant\.so.*'
/usr/lib64/libenchant.so -> libenchant.so.1.6.1
/usr/lib64/libenchant.so.1 -> libenchant.so.1.6.1
/usr/lib64/libenchant.so.1.6.1
So you see the symlinks. Is one of them missing in your case? As I
said, what does the package (including the dev package if split, gentoo
is build-from-source so it doesn't bother splitting off the build-time
stuff into separate package from the runtime stuff, like most binary
distros do).
There's also an ldcache that caches the paths to libraries. Perhaps
yours needs refreshed. Unfortunately I don't know enough about how that
works to talk about it except in the gentoo sense, where I just know the
command to run and that it updates the ldcache among other things, not
the mechanism for actually doing that update.
