cannot open shared object file: about gbar HOT 8 CLOSED

If you've followed the install instructions:
libgBar.so is found in /usr/local/lib, which is not part of any of the dynamic linker search paths.

To fix that:
Put /usr/local/lib/ at the end of /etc/ld.so.conf, then reboot.
This should fix the problem.

Thanks, this works

Put /usr/local/lib/ at the end of /etc/ld.so.conf, then reboot.

Same error here.

I added this in both ways: include /usr/local/lib & /usr/local/lib
I rebooted both times but nothing. Follow the same error.

Can you post the output of ldd /usr/local/bin/gBar?
Does libgBar.so exist in /usr/local/lib/?

from gbar.

ldd /usr/local/bin/gBar

Thx for answer so fast <3

Does running LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ gBar bar 0 work?

from gbar.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ gBar bar 0

Yes. Running fine now:

from gbar.

Strange...
Anyway, you can make that permanent by adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ to /etc/environment, then logout and it should work. Then you can just run gBar bar 0 like you normally would.

Note, that this could cause issues, since the linker now prefers the libraries in/usr/local/lib over libraries in the same path as any executable. An alternative to setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be just installing to /usr instead of /usr/local:
Uninstall from /usr/local, then meson setup build --reconfigure -Dbuildtype=release -Dprefix=/usr, then compile and install as usual.
