I have a code that uses a shared library, however when I tried to run it, it gives me this error:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
how do I fix this? my instructor said something about using
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .....
but what should I put in the ..... is it the directory where the .so file is?
Try
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to see what is setup already.
It's a ; separated list, like the PATH variable itself.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Run "ldd <binaryname>" to get a dump of the libraries it's TRYING to find. It will show which one it cannot find -- now go find that library and add its location to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
