Gah return of the libharbour.so.3.2: issue...

[Michael Green]

I installed Harbour from source on Linux Mint.  I'm getting the:

./hello: error while loading shared libraries: libharbour.so.3.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Previously I fixed the problem by copying libharbour.so.3.2 to /usr/local/bin, however this time the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks.

Oh, ho. The problem seems to centre around an environmental variable called:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

What I did was:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/harbour [Enter]
$  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH [Enter]

I'm not yet sure how to make these setting 'stick'.

This is how I build on debian based distros:

DEST="/Sandbox/harbour"
#Linux (.deb based distros: Debian, Ubuntu)
git clone https://github.com/harbour/core.git $DEST
cd $DEST
#You can get subsequent updates using this command:
#git pull

#To build:
export HB_WITH_CURL=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
export HB_WITH_PCRE=local
export HB_WITH_OPENSSL=
make
make install
ldconfig

If you did a make install try to run a ldconfig.

If it doesn't work read ldconfig man page or this page https://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig

Hi!
sudo make clean install -> put harbour bin and lib an appropriate folder and the path locate it.
make clean install -> put /home out off path.

Best regards,

Thank you all. The solution is:

# ldconfig [Enter]

Simple as that.

Here's the full story:

Get the compiler and the associated gubbins:

# apt install build-essential

Download Harbour sources:
# wget https://github.com/harbour/core/archive/master.tar.gz
(alternative) # wget https://github.com/harbour/core/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz

Extract the files:
# tar xf master.tar.gz

Compile Harbour
# cd core-master && make install
# ldconfig
# /usr/sbin/reboot

Great success.
