.deb spring missing libraries (.so) on Gusty

[kimastergeorge]

On my installation of Ubuntu Gutsy, running spring from the command line turns up the following:

Code: Select all

spring: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It turns out that I have 1.4 installed, and I don't believe that I have a newer version because of backports.

I tried as a kludge creating symbolic links which made the 1.4 files appear as 1.3, and this turned up a couple libboost errors because I have the wrong version, again. I tried fixing these in the same way, and this all led to a segmentation fault, so I removed my symbolic links.

Has anyone else had this experience on Gutsy? Is there a way to fix this? Is it something I'm doing, or is the repository messed up?

Are you sure you are using the Gutsy .debs or apt repository? That sounds like you are trying to use a Feisty .deb on Gutsy.

I found out what was wrong--I compiled in Feisty before I upgraded and the deb won't replace the old /usr/bin/spring with a new one.

It all works fine now.

That's odd, since make install should go to /usr/local rather than just /usr/bin.

More likely, since the package installed cleanly, you had a spring in both /usr/bin and in /usr/local/bin - the one in /usr/local then took precedence.

Either way, yes, uninstall first :)
