Error While Loading Shared Library File Too Short
Virginie Fayad
So, I figure I need to do a bit of troubleshooting, and I need to disable GDM, since it doesn't want to start. So I boot into my installation media, arch-chroot into my newly mounted partition, and try to disable GDM with systemctl disable gdm.service. Well, apparently, systemctl is having trouble loading a shared library, because it then spits out this error message:
I am trying to compile and run this code under ubuntu 14.04. I downloaded and installed libpng version 1.6.12. I am able to compile the code using gcc test.c -lpng but when I try to run it, I get this error: ./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Pay attention how the links are configured. I found a server where a mistake had happen and /etc/bin/java was replaced with a binary. That made the library not found error to appear. I relinked /usr/bin/java to /etc/alternatives/java, and all works again.
All errors are caused by corrupted shared libraries. For example running flatpak run app.drey.Warp results in warp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-4.so.1: file too short, flatpak run md.obsidian.Obsidian in /app/bin/zypak-helper: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: file too short and so on.
ok. gladfully I am wrong
Nonetheless there is an issue.
The runtime linked is apparently unable to load the library. It does find (per ldd) /usr/local/root/lib/libCint.so.5.06. However it seems unable to load it
per " libCint.so.5.06: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "
Now the only reason I know where this could happen are
Note: rootcint will start, i.e. I can run rootcint -h and I get the help message. It is only when I try to actually use it (as in the command in my first post) that I get the shared object file error. I suspect the same might be true of root.exe.
Turns out, longsotry short, they are special kinds of libraries that programs automagically install. What is interesting about them is that different libraries can use older versions of the same library. How is this possible? Through their naming system!
I'm trying to compile a simple program on my Ubuntu using the ARM cross compile toolchain (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc) and run it on my Raspberry Pi. The program is using the wiringPi shared library (wiringPi.so) located in /wiringPi/wiringPi on Ubuntu. The code follows:
to compile and successfully get the object file, which I then transfer to Raspberry Pi.
However, when trying to run the program on Pi, I get the following error:
./blinking: error while loading shared libraries: libwiringPi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So you have to copy the library to the PI into a directory that is searched for shared libraries, such as /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. You can also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the library, but then you must make sure it is always set when you want to execute the program.
I packaged a Slicer using the latest nightly and Ubuntu 18.04, gcc 7.5.0, and Qt 5.15.0, and when unpacking and executing it, Slicer fails to start due to an error

This is same error, when 2 days ago I tried some dependent package installation with TensorRT and opened an issue Unable to create Nvv4l2 Decoder, NvStreamMux, pgie, nvvidconv, nvosd: Error while running DeepStream 4.0.2 Python apps
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries tipsOracle Database Tips by Donald BurlesonApril 26, 2015
Question: I tried to install Oracle but DBCA aborted. I then tried to open SQL*plus it showing this error:
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How do I fix this sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries error?
Answer: Your problem was that you did not carefully following the pre-install checklist. The installer will very rarely fail, if you follow the directions. Start by reviewing the installer logs and see why it aborted.
You load libraries by accessing them as attributes of these objects. cdllloads libraries which export functions using the standard cdecl callingconvention, while windll libraries call functions using the stdcallcalling convention. oledll also uses the stdcall calling convention, andassumes the functions return a Windows HRESULT error code. The errorcode is used to automatically raise an OSError exception when thefunction call fails.
Some shared libraries not only export functions, they also export variables. Anexample in the Python library itself is the Py_Version, Pythonruntime version number encoded in a single constant integer.
The purpose of the find_library() function is to locate a library in a waysimilar to what the compiler or runtime loader does (on platforms with severalversions of a shared library the most recent should be loaded), while the ctypeslibrary loaders act like when a program is run, and call the runtime loaderdirectly.
If wrapping a shared library with ctypes, it may be better to determinethe shared library name at development time, and hardcode that into the wrappermodule instead of using find_library() to locate the library at runtime.
Windows only: Instances of this class represent loaded shared libraries,functions in these libraries use the stdcall calling convention, and areassumed to return the windows specific HRESULT code. HRESULTvalues contain information specifying whether the function call failed orsucceeded, together with additional error code. If the return value signals afailure, an OSError is automatically raised.
All these classes can be instantiated by calling them with at least oneargument, the pathname of the shared library. If you have an existing handle toan already loaded shared library, it can be passed as the handle namedparameter, otherwise the underlying platforms dlopen() orLoadLibrary() function is used to load the library intothe process, and to get a handle to it.
Instances of these classes have no public methods. Functions exported by theshared library can be accessed as attributes or by index. Please note thataccessing the function through an attribute caches the result and thereforeaccessing it repeatedly returns the same object each time. On the other hand,accessing it through an index returns a new object each time:
__getattr__() has special behavior: It allows loading a shared library byaccessing it as attribute of a library loader instance. The result is cached,so repeated attribute accesses return the same library each time.
As explained in the previous section, foreign functions can be accessed asattributes of loaded shared libraries. The function objects created in this wayby default accept any number of arguments, accept any ctypes data instances asarguments, and return the default result type specified by the library loader.They are instances of a private class:
Returns a foreign function exported by a shared library. func_spec mustbe a 2-tuple (name_or_ordinal, library). The first item is the name ofthe exported function as string, or the ordinal of the exported functionas small integer. The second item is the shared library instance.

I'm trying to install the latest version of NCO to see if I can solve an 'ncap' problem.
I have followed the instructions to install from the binaries provided but when I send the
command "ncks -r" the machine replies with:
'ncks: error while loading shared libraries: libnco-4.3.4.so: cannot open shared object file'
although 'libnco-4.3.4.so' is in library '/usr/local/lib' and $PATH is pointing to that directory.
The command ldd `which ncks` gives the following results:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb773d000)
libnco-4.3.4.so => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb757c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb773e000)
I cannot figure out why ncks fails to load libnco. Can anyone please give me some help?
I'm using 'Ubuntu 12.04'
after installation of nco-4.4.6, I tested it and downloaded a smple .nc file using the above command successfully. then I cloased the terminal and after that each time I close and open the terminal, I am encountering the following error after executing the above command:
ncks: error while loading shared libraries: libnco-4.4.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But, after the shared library problem is resolved, when I run the download command, while it seems the file is downloading (even the preliminary tmp file is made in the download folder) and after a while, I am encountering another error message! that is it:
To fix the "File Too Short" error when loading shared libraries in Ubuntu, you can remove the existing symbolic links using the rm command and then recreate them using the ln command. If the error persists, check if the software you are installing is available from the Ubuntu Software Center. If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact the application provider for further assistance.
Symbolic links, also known as soft links, are special files that point to other files, similar to shortcuts in Windows. In this case, the symbolic links to the shared library files may be broken or incorrect.
The code is compiled properly without error but when I move the executable file on coilibri module
it shows the above mentioned error.
It seems that a wrong platform library (e.g. x64?) is used by the compiler
bioconda now requires conda-forge and the conda-forge version of bzip2 uses shared libraries, while the one in the main channel uses a static library. Since it was compiled against the shared library version you need to also have than included in your environment. Hope this fixes it for you.
