Loading Rhythm FPGA fails on Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit #186

Closed AGenews closed 9 years ago

AGenews commented 9 years ago

I gave the new master branch a try just right now.

Loading the Rhythm FPGA on Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit results in the following error:

libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory FrontPanel DLL could not be loaded. Make sure this DLL is in the application start directory.

A quick 'apt-file search libudev.so.0' doesn't give a hit so it's not in the repos anymore and has been replaced by libudev.so.1. Interestingly, replacing the libokFrontPanel.so with one which I pulled around the 5th September does not give this error. It also seems to be quite a common problem out there ... but unfortunately most 'solutions' are workarounds with arguable quality and a certain amount of ruthlessness ;)

I accidentally swapped the Ubuntu DLL with the CentOS version. See if it works now.

Works like a charm! Many thanks! Best, Andreas
