Re: [psmove] Error Pairing

[Alexander Nitsch]

The psmove executable needs to load the shared library
/home/gigio/psmoveapi-4.0.12-linux/lib/libpsmoveapi.so but cannot find
it. You need to add its path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

To check if that works:

sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/psmoveapi-4.0.12-linux/lib/
~/psmoveapi-4.0.12-linux/bin/psmove pair

(The ~ is a shortcut for your home directory.)

How to properly make this a permanent config depends on your Linux
distribution.

For a system-wide installation of the executable and the libraries on
Debian/Ubuntu, you could do the following:

1. Copy the executables in ~/psmoveapi-4.0.12-linux/bin to /usr/local/bin/.

2. Copy the libraries in ~/psmoveapi-4.0.12-linux/lib to /usr/local/lib/.

3. Run ldconfig.

You should then be able to just call psmove like so:

sudo psmove pair
