Gene, what you should specify (AIUI) is the actual directory containing the .so, as shown by a comparison with e.g. $ more /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libasound2.conf /usr/lib/alsa-lib $ ls /usr/lib/alsa-lib libasound_module_conf_pulse.so libasound_module_ctl_arcam_av.so ... If that's analogous to what you have, then have you tried: $ ldconfig -p | grep <camunits_or_whatever_the_lib_is_called> With -p it lists candidate libraries stored in the current cache. (Reams of 'em.) Once that picks it up, you're in with a chance. Silly question time: the .so was in /usr/lib/camunits, when ldconfig -v was run? (Just checkin ;) If that doesn't do it, and you're (fed up and) not stopping to chase the showstopper down all its burrows, then the following has worked for me for a quick result. For the Bitscope I'd put the required library in /usr/lib/bitscope, and even this result: $ ldconfig -p | grep libborqt libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/bitscope/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so wasn't enough for the .so to be found, so I just banged this onto the command line: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/bitscope:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Then the executable happily found the .so more or less "manually". > Perhaps I'm running it wrong? Yup. The secret is to run it less wrong, till it works well enough for now, as far as I can tell. Erik -- Without fertilizers derived from fossil fuels, we just can't feed 7 billion people.
