I recently did a fresh install of CSFML and I am getting this
errors when running my csfml D bindings program:
```
object.Exception@source/app.d(38): Fatal error(s) encountered
whilst calling `loadSFML()` function:
["Error: libcsfml-system.so, Message: libsfml-system.so.2.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory",
"Error: libcsfml-system.so.2, Message: libcsfml-system.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory",
"Error: libcsfml-system.so.2.0, Message: libcsfml-system.so.2.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"]
```
I am using SFML D bindings
(https://github.com/BindBC/bindbc-sfml):
```D
void loadDyn() {
if (!loadSFML()) {
string[] messages;
foreach (const(ErrorInfo) err; errors) {
string errorStr = to!string(err.error);
string messageStr = to!string(err.message);
messages ~= format("Error: %s, Message: %s", errorStr,
messageStr);
}
throw new Exception(format("Fatal error(s) encountered whilst
calling `loadSFML()` function: %s", messages));
}
}
void main() {
loadDyn();
sfRenderWindow* renderWindow =
sfRenderWindow_create(sfVideoMode(500, 500), "Snake Smooth
Dynamics", sfWindowStyle.sfDefaultStyle, null);
sfEvent event;
while (renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_isOpen()) {
while (renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_pollEvent(&event)) {
if (event.type == sfEventType.sfEvtClosed) {
renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_close();
}
}
renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_clear(sfYellow);
renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_drawSprite(snakeHeadSprite, null);
renderWindow.sfRenderWindow_display();
}
}
```
Things I've tried:
- I found someone with a similar question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41516065/linux-sfml-cannot-open-shared-object-file, tried out some answers but to no avail
- I tried to `sudo apt purge` every CSFML dependency (graphics,
audo, etc) and reinstall each component (`csfml-audio`,
`csfml-graphics`) manually etc, to no avail.
- I tried to run `sudo ldconfig`... didn't work
- As a last ditch effort I tried to manually move the shared
object files to the `/usr/local/lib` directory (to try and
perhaps trick the compiler to run the program?) but to no avail.
- I tried to run on a new VM and still didn't work
- I tried to set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable
The amount of layers I depend on make it impossible to find where
the bug is from, there are a lot of separate things going on and
it's very multilayered, I don't know where the issue is
specifically coming from as it used to work just fine I ran the
exact same commands to install CSFML previously, now when I do
it it just refuses to run.
The weird thing is when I ran a brand new virtual machine,
installed those packages, still same issue.
I am running Linux Mint 21.1, Ubuntu based. Relatively new PC.
Help would be appreciated.
