Error msg when starting: really weird...

[Erik Elsom]

Hi. I installed gizmod based on the instructions on thie wiki and it seemed to install fine. I created the new input user and made sure the permissions were set up right.

When I type 'gizmod' I get this message, either from root, su, or my user:
"gizmod: error while loading shared libraries: libGizmod.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I tried reinstalling, this didn't fix it. The file is there. I can see it in /usr/local/lib. When I cat it, it has the stuff in it. I've also tried running the command from this directory.

Seems weird to me. I haven't found anyone else with this prob.

Any ideas? I really want to get the powermate working!

I'm using Fedora 8.

Hi Erik,

I take it you compiled gizmod from source?  Can you paste the output of: ldd `which gizmod`

also try this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH gizmod -g

If that works your distro is set up wrong ;).  You have two options, either put "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in your shell startup script (ie .bash_rc, etc), or uninstall gizmod and reinstall into /usr rather than /usr/local (ie ./configure --prefix=/usr)

Let me know if that helps at all!

Thanks,

Tim.
