Issues on Arch Linux with gstreamer old library

Jzarecta commented 6 years ago

I am trying to run solarcoin-qt and getting the following error:

$ ./solarcoin-qt ./solarcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Wonder if there is a way I can start up solarcoin.

Is this one you built from source or from the installer? If the installer, make sure you are in the directory where solarcoin-qt live when you run it.

@Jzarecta @onsightit that's source correct?

@onsightit just like I put it on a ./solarcoin-qt I am a on the current directory, if I cd in libs/ I get a different yet similar error.

libs]$ ../solarcoin-qt 
../solarcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libqrencode.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't have this issue with other qt wallets like DASH, PIVX, SmartCash, etc. I think the paths are somewhat hardcoded on the source and very strictly to the version of the development machine which fails on distros like mine (Arch Linux).

Ah maybe this can shed some light, I re-download the package and while executing the run package, I got the libgstreamer exception while depackaging which could mean there is an exception before unpacking that library.

$ bash SolarCoin_2.1.8_64bit\(1\).run 
Creating directory SolarCoin_2.1.8_64bit
