I am compiling Lastools using g++ (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0 .
The compilation was successfull. So I try it.

>lasinfo64 /home/theuser/repos/LAStools/LASzip/example/5points_14.las
lasinfo64: error while loading shared libraries: libgeotiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgeotiff.so.2.1.2

Why I am not able to get libgeotiff.so.5?

Hi Man Singh,

the ubuntu 7.5...~18.04 is a quite old one.

Maybe the libgeotiff.so.2 is the latest one for ubuntu 18.04 or you have to update your packet lists.

Best regards,

Jochen @rapidlasso
