cuneiform does not find its librarie libpuma.so

[Koose]

Hi!

After installing cuneiform, I tried to start it the first time. But the output is:

cuneiform: error while loading shared libraries: libpuma.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found libpuma.so at /usr/local/lib, but cuneiform does not.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. Seems like that you have a misconfigured system which does not pick up libs from /usr/local atomagically.

[Koose (koose)]

That worked. Thanks.

Closing as invalid (not a bug).

I encountered the same problem. But I have Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 and I fined libpuma.so in /usr/local/lib64/
I helped only: 'ln -s /usr/local/lib64/*.so /usr/lib64/' from root, because it need all this *.so

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Then go fill a bug against Ubuntu, a sane system should pick up the libraries in /usr/local/lib* automatically. Ubuntu Hardy does this, no idea why they dropped it into subsequent releases.

FYI: For me under Jaunty it was sufficient to rerun ldconfig as the configuration in /etc/ld.so.conf.d looked ok. So it seems that when the configuration got updated the ldconfig was not rerun.

Как вариант можно сделать символьные ссылки в директории /usr/lib

[julien (julien-aubert)]

Which version did you download?
Have you installed previous versions?

Which commands did you run to install?
Did you use any prefix option or similar when compiling?

[Martin Wildam (mwildam)]

In my case (not the OP) I used the latest (v0.8.0).

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Great, thanks for the info! This implies that we will only need to do ldconfig after the installation of the package (when we're going to look into packaging at last, I mean).

[Martin Wildam (mwildam)]

At least for Jaunty, I mean. ;-) - We will see what will be needed on Karmic...

[Jussi Pakkanen (jpakkane)]

For packaging you might want to look how Debian does it with RPATH.

[adriverhoef (a3)]

If you run into this error and don't like editing your system files, you could try adding the environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to your shell before calling 'cuneiform' e.g. by adding the following line to your .bash_profile:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

... or you could create a script that calls the real 'cuneiform' e.g. like this:
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/cuneiform "$@"

Here's a sample script that I use for a specific job that converts PNM-files:

#!/bin/sh
for pnm in *.pnm
do
 [ -f "$pnm" ] || break
 printf "Processing %s ...\n" "$pnm"
 ppmtobmp "$pnm" > "${pnm%%.pnm}.bmp"
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib cuneiform -l eng -f smarttext -o ${pnm%%.pnm}.eng ${pnm%%.pnm}.bmp
done

I confirm that on Ubuntu Hardy I had to run ldconfig after installation.
Should this be mentioned in readme, incorporated into Makefile or is it Ubuntu's fault?

On Debian Lenny AMD64 I had PUMA_Init failed. Fresh install of Cuneiform in both cases, with just
mkdir builddir
cd builddir
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Yes, it should be mentioned in the README.

[Jussi Pakkanen (jpakkane)]

The fact that Ubuntu does not have /usr/local/lib in linker path is their choice (some would call it a bug). Any self-built program with shared libraries will behave exactly the same.

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Jussi, it does, at least for Hardy. But even if the library is in the linker path you have to run ldconfig before you can actually use it. Not only on Ubuntu, but also RHEL/Fedora and any other systems where the libraries are managed by ldconfig.
