#23 libawka.so: cannot open shared object fi

[Anonymous]

Downloaded awka-0.7.5.tar.gz.

Installed it on Redhat7.3 as user root.
Made small awk test file.

test.awk
{print $0}

Did generated compiled c-progam.
awka -X -f test.awk.

Executed the script and getting next error message.
cat test.awk | ./awka.out
./awka.out: error while loading shared libraries:
libawka.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

What do I do wrong?

I'm a bit rusty on how shared libraries work right now, but
perhaps check to ensure that libawka.so is somewhere in
your PATH, or is installed in a standard place like /usr/lib
or /usr/local/lib. I think there's a variable called
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or something similar) that is used to
identify locations of shared libraries as well - not sure.

Andrew,

The libawka.so is standing in /usr/local/lib.
This directory is in the PATH.
I added the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to
the .bash_profile.

It working now.

Thanks,
Wilfried

update the library links and cache by issuing "ldconfig".
libawka should normally go to /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib.
