Example

Initial take: Looks like something is going wrong with loading the native e_sqlcipher shared library, like perhaps it is compiled for a different libc than your system has, or something like that.

@ericsink @Neilsons - Centos 7 uses an ancient version of glibc, I believe 2.17. The library would have to be rebuild against that version or older for it to work.

[ericsink]

@sjlombardo Ah, that would explain it. Thanks for the info.

@Neilsons Sorry, but I do not intend to address this issue.

[Neilsons]

@ericsink Thank you very much for your reply, I will try to find other solutions @sjlombardo Thank you very much for the information

@ericsink @sjlombardo I tried lowering the version to 2.1.0 and it seems to work. I haven’t tried other versions yet.
