Fix for "error while loading shared libraries: libupnp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

[Allan Bogh]

In the command line, search for libupnp.so.*. You will find the latest one you have, likely libupnp.so.6 within the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directory

# sudo find / -name libupnp.so.*

Now, create a symlink for libupnp.so.3 to the libupnp.so.6 file.

# cd /usr/lib

# sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libupnp.so.6 libupnp.so.3

This last command may not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt anything either.

# sudo ldconfig

Now you can run the program (browse to the iAlert directory).

# ./iAlert
