Error while loading a user lib

SCOSWriter · 12-30-2004, 05:41 PM

Anyone know why I would get and error in kdevelop.

./bin/adapter: error while loading shared libraries: libXXXXX.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Press enter to continue!

This is a user lib and I have set all my paths (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc.)

Is there something else I must set so my executable can see available libs?

The library is needed during linking so it found it then...

Currently I have the the run options set to run in build directory. I have several lib directories since this is an itegration project, so I simply cannot just stick the libs into the bin directory.

hi there,

this issue can be distro dependent. i can give you some lines how it would work with slackware.
first, you need to be sure that your library directory is under

Code:

/etc/ld.so.conf

then you run, as root,

Code:

ldconfig

you need to do that every time that you update something concerning libraries.

Yes another post mentioned something like that:

su -c /sbin/ldconfig

Is this the same thing? It did not seem to affect my issue, but thanks anyway.
