Installation problems, cannot find -lglyr

[RonaldFindling]

I'm currently trying to install lyvi to use it with cmus on my Ubuntu 14.04. After finding out that the whole process is python3 based (https://github.com/ok100/lyvi/issues/34 ), I tried the following:

# download lyvi
cd ~/bin
git clone https://github.com/ok100/lyvi.git
cd lyvi
# download dependencies
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dbus python-gobject
sudo pip3 install cython
git clone https://github.com/sahib/glyr.git
mv glyr glyr-repo
# copy the header files so the compiler can find them
sudo cp -r glyr-repo/lib /usr/include/glyr/
sudo pip3 install plyr # /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglyr

For me it looks like the pip3 installation fails because it can't find the "glyr.h" which is located in ~/bin/lyvi/glyr/ and /usr/include/glyr/. I used the manual pip3 install <package> instead of sudo pip3 install -r pip_requirements.txt --use-mirrors because I wanted to make sure were exactly the error occurred.

Any help would be appreciated.

That's because you did not install libglyr, which is why he chokes on finding the library with a cannot find -lglyr. Installing the headers is not enough, you have to compile and install the binary too. libglyr's build system will already take care of this:

(https://github.com/sahib/glyr/wiki/Compiling)

TL;DR:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr 
$ make && sudo make install

Also note that the error happens during install of plyr, the python wrapper of libglyr.

Oh, I completely forgot to compile. I needed a view more dependencies since glyr depends on glib >= 2.14 and glib depends on libffi-3.1, but after installing all of them I was able to install lyvi. For reproducability the libraries I downloaded, unpacked an installed in the corresponding order: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.6/general/libffi.html

sed -e '/^includesdir/ s:$(libdir)/@PACKAGE_NAME@-@PACKAGE_VERSION@/include:$(includedir):' \
    -i include/Makefile.in &&
sed -e '/^includedir/ s:${libdir}/@PACKAGE_NAME@-@PACKAGE_VERSION@/include:@includedir@:' \
    -e 's/^Cflags: -I${includedir}/Cflags:/' \
    -i libffi.pc.in        &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
# make check
sudo make install

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.6/general/glib2.html

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pcre=system &&
make
sudo make install

https://github.com/sahib/glyr/wiki/Compiling

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .
make && sudo make install

After that the installation of lyvi(sudo pip install -r pip_requirements.txt --use-mirrors ) was successful and the communication with cmus works out of the box.

Many thanks to ok100 for the tool and to sahib for the help.

PS: I'm not shure how to assign the question label or how to mark this as solved, maybe someone else can do that.

I'm having a similar issue despite having successfully compiled and installed libglyr:

Any ideas?

I was just missing python3-devel, sorry about the noise.
