Sagan v.1.2.2-1 failing to start during post-installation test.

[Haxx]

Hi,

I have just installed sagan(1.2.2-1) on Arch Linux(5.10.56-1-lts) , no install errors to report, but as I am
going through the "Post-installation setup and testing" section from the Sagan User guide(readthedocs):

• "To test, run sagan --debug syslog,engine as the root user. It will switch to the sagan user when ready, and
  remain running in the foreground.
  command: $ sudo sagan --debug syslog,engine
  output:sagan: error while loading shared libraries: libesmtp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  issue: sagan fails to start
  libesmtp version: community/libesmtp 1.1.0-1 [installed]

libesmtp Directories:
libesmtp /usr/include/auth-client.h
libesmtp /usr/include/libesmtp.h
libesmtp /usr/lib/
libesmtp /usr/lib/esmtp-plugins-6.2.0/
libesmtp /usr/lib/esmtp-plugins-6.2.0/sasl-crammd5.so
libesmtp /usr/lib/esmtp-plugins-6.2.0/sasl-login.so
libesmtp /usr/lib/esmtp-plugins-6.2.0/sasl-ntlm.so
libesmtp /usr/lib/esmtp-plugins-6.2.0/sasl-plain.so
libesmtp /usr/lib/libesmtp.so
libesmtp /usr/lib/libesmtp.so.6.2.0

At first sight it looks like sagan cannot find libesmtp.so.6 library.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks,

Sagan 1.2.2 is pretty old.   This appears to be a system or package issue.   That is,  Sagan was compiled with libesmtp but it can't locate the library.  Looking at your post,  I think this might fix this problem.    As root,  try this:

ln -s  /usr/lib/libesmtp.so.6.2.0  /usr/lib/libesmtp.so.6

ldconfig -a

After this,  try and re-run Sagan.  Hope this helps!
