phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: what do I have to do?

[Marco Ippolito]

Hi everybody,

I just installed casperjs and phantomjs. In order to try its functionalities, I typed casperjs googlelinks.js. This is the result:

"casperjs googlelinks.js

phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

googling I found that this problem occurs when phantomjs is an older version than 1.6.0 (https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/446 )

So:

I uninstalled my PhantomJS from my package manager with sudo apt-get remove phantomjs

and then

I downloaded from here: http://phantomjs.org/download.html the latest (1.9.2) version of the binary code for Linux: https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

I extracted the directory phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-x86_64 but the problem persists:  casperjs googlelinks.js

phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What do I have to do in order to solve the situation?

Thank you for you kind help

Kind regards

Marco

Please read http://phantomjs.org/download.html, it already mentions
that "...some base libraries necessary for rendering (FreeType,
Fontconfig)..." should be installed. It's likely just a few apt-get
anyway.
