Title: git doesn't work, can't load libpcre2-8.so.0
Post by: karl52 on February 10, 2026, 11:45:04 AM

Hi,
git seems to not work in TinyCore 17 x86 (it did before in 16.2). I installed TinyCore from the CorePlus-current ISO from http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release/CorePlus-current.iso
I installed git using the Apps menu.
This is the error I get:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ git
git: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre2-8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installed extensions:

• python3.14 (I really like it by the way)
• tk9.0
• tk8.6
• Xdialog
• squashfs-tools
• dillo
• git

I ran update-everything after installation, there were no updates

It looks like the dep file needs adjusting - does loading pcre21042 fix things?

Thank you for the fast replies.
I loaded pcre2, everything works now :)
