trouble running due to libi3ipc-glib-1.0.so.0 #17

Closed phwelo closed 5 years ago

Getting the following error running i3-easyfocus:

$ make clean debug
Cleaning
CC src/win.c
CC src/i3-easyfocus.c
CC src/ipc.c
CC src/xcb.c
CC src/map.c
Link i3-easyfocus
$ ./i3-easyfocus
./i3-easyfocus: error while loading shared libraries: libi3ipc-glib-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but...

$ locate libi3ipc-glib-1.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libi3ipc-glib-1.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libi3ipc-glib-1.0.so.0.0.0

is there another location that i should be linking that lib to?

just for kicks and probably because i'm ignorant to how C does libraries, I tried moving that .so.0 file to the i3-easyfocus build folder and tried running but faced the same error

/usr/local/lib would need to be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4743233/is-usr-local-lib-searched-for-shared-libraries

I am going to close this one, as this was answered. Feel free to reopen if there is something missing.
