Questions: Install Path and Library Error #386

Closed nobicycle closed 4 years ago

nobicycle commented 4 years ago

Hello, on Arch Linux, all compiles and installs with success:

libzim-6.1.5 kiwix-lib kiwix-lib-9.2.2 kiwix-tools kiwix-tools-3.1.1

But library errors occur:

$ kiwix-serve --help kiwix-serve: error while loading shared libraries: libkiwix.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I ran ldconfig as root - nothing happened.

$ ls /usr/local/include kiwix zim

$ ls /usr/local/bin/ kiwix-compile-resources kiwix-manage kiwix-read kiwix-search kiwix-serve

I though perhaps if I installed into prefix /usr instead of /usr/local then it might fix it but had no luck with

MESON_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr meson . build

Or

sudo DESTDIR=/usr ninja -C build install

Where the libkiwix.so is installed ? From what you said about the binaries, it should be installed in /usr/local/lib64 or something like that. I don't know if this path is part of the standard paths configured in Arch linux. You can add the path at run time by adding it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable. Or you can install the library in standard path using meson --prefix=/usr . build

@mgautierfr

meson --prefix=/usr . build

That solution worked. I didn't try changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH Many thanks
