Compiling wimlib under Ubuntu

Post by techryda »

I'm trying to get wimlib compiled/packaged/installed under Ubuntu 15.10

I have the following prerequisites installed

Code: Select all

libxml2-dev
ntfs-3g-dev
libfuse-dev
libattr1-dev
From the directory where I've extracted wimlib 1.8.3-BETA12, I run:

Code: Select all

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall
Everything seems to compile fine, but when running any of the binaries, I get a message similar to:

Code: Select all

$ wiminfo
wiminfo: error while loading shared libraries: libwim.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Ubuntu isn't my primary Linux distro and I'm new to packaging for it so, while I've looked into the ./debian directory (in the wimlib source), I'm currently at a loss on how to fix this.

Hopefully, someone can assist me. (or point me to a package)

Thanks

I had same problem, solution was to run ldconfig.

sudo ldconfig -v
