Compiling on Ubuntu 14.04 : Problem with so file.

[lionel]

I have a problem after
make clean
./bootstrap
./configure
make

The compiler doesn't seem to find the so file 'libfix8.so.1' at some stage of the compilation with the following output :

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../include -g -O2 -std=c++11 -Wall -MT precomp.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/precomp.Tpo -c -o precomp.o precomp.cpp

Anyone can help to fix this issue ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I know this is very late, but I had a similar error where the compiler also could not find libfix8.so.1 using Ubuntu. The error included the following:

f8c: error while loading shared libraries: libfix8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I solved this by doing the following:

% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libfix8.so.1

% sudo ldconfig

Hope this helps anyone in the future with a similar issue.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is meant to point to a semi-colon separated list of directories not absolute filenames.

I just used this solution and it works :D
Thank you very much Mr. Luck!
