    Hello forum!

    I have a problem with LCDPROC 0.5.5-1.

    I start the daemon with: 

    # LCDd -f -r 4
LCDd version 0.5.5 starting
Built on Nov 12 2011, protocol version 0.3, API version 0.5
Using Configuration File: /etc/LCDd.conf
Set report level to 4, output to stderr
LCDd 0.5.5, LCDproc Protocol 0.3
Part of the LCDproc suite

Could not open driver module HD44780.so: HD44780.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Driver [HD44780] binding failed
Module HD44780.so could not be loaded
Could not load driver HD44780
There is no output driver
Critical error while initializing, abort.

    and this output is interesting too: 

    # ls /dev/l*
/dev/log    /dev/loop1   /dev/loop3  /dev/loop5   /dev/loop7      /dev/lp0
/dev/loop0  /dev/loop2   /dev/loop4  /dev/loop6   /dev/loop-control

    ..it seems I haven't any  /dev/lcd0 device

    The display is an hd44780 compatible, it's wired as winamp scheme and it works on the same pc on winxp and on linux by lcd4linux, but I need lcdproc because it has to work on a home server…

    ..little help?

    Thankyou!

    The important line is

    Could not open driver module HD44780.so: HD44780.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Did you configure the path to the driver libraries correctly in LCDd.conf? If yes, is the hd44780.so file available at that path?

    Thankyou mmdolze,
    no, I just installed lcdproc in synaptic and I copy and paste an LCDd.confsuitable for hd44780 from internet.

    now I check:

    # locate hd44780.so
    /usr/lib/lcdproc/hd44780.so

    ..the path seems to be ok, look below

    $ ls -la /usr/lib/lcdproc/ | grep 44780
    -rw-r-r-   1 root root 74752 nov 12 10:17 hd44780.so

    the path seems to be right, why doesn't it find hd44780.so?

    This is my /etc/LCDd.conf
