Error while loading shared libraries #65

Closed sarmong closed 2 years ago

sarmong commented 2 years ago

I am getting the following error on Ubuntu 20.04 when running the command

xkb-switch: error while loading shared libraries: libxkbswitch.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I know that Ubuntu 20.04 may use Wayland (depends on configuration). Wayland is not currently supported in xkb-switch, see #64 Is it your case?

That was X11. However, I don't have that Ubuntu installation anymore and there is no issue right now, so I'm closing the issue

Ok, fine. For those who run into this again: I think the next step should be running ldd $(which xkb-switch) and trying to figure out what is happening

I have exactly that error. Running Fedora 36. Output of ldd $(which xkb-switch):

Solved it by just installing it from Fedora's package repository sudo dnf install xkb-switch :woozy_face:

I've already had a successful compilation with the respective library directories and files placed accordingly. I had to provide the library file's linker name using sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib/libxkbswitch.so.1 to getnot found gap filled up
