Where is that library install? In your home directory somewhere, in
/usr/local/lib, somewhere else? Hint: it ought to be installed in
/usr/local/lib.
sudo operates in a minimum environment; i.e., it does not inherit a users environment.
If you have your library installed somewhere or other that's not one of the "standard" places, you'll need to do one of a few options.
First, let's say it's in
/usr/local/lib. Check to see if you have
/etc/ld.so.conf; if you do, open it in a editor and see if you have a line,
in that file. If you do, all done.
If you have that library in some other directory, say somewhere in your home directory, first think about moving it to
/usr/local/lib and if don't want to do that and you do have
/etc/ld.so.conf, put the absolute path name to the directory where that library file lives.
If you don't have
/etc/ld.so.conf, check around in
/etc and see if the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set somewhere (look in the subdirectories too). If you have that set somewhere, edit it and add
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH:path_to_your_library:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
Or, if you can't find that anywhere (it may not be there), edit
/etc/profile and add the above export line to the bottom of it.
Personally, I'd move the thing to
/usr/local/lib, log out, log back in and see if it just works before I did anything else.
Hope this helps some.
