inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so:

[Shlomi Fish]

After building inkscape-0.92pre1.tar.bz2 from src.rpm using an update patch on Mageia Linux v6 x86-64 and installing it under /usr, it gives me:

shlomif@telaviv1:~$ which inkscape
/usr/bin/inkscape
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
shlomif@telaviv1:~$

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/inkscape fixes the problem and inkscape appears to start fine. Perhaps a libpath or an rpath are missing.

This is the patch for the "mgarepo co inkscape" that was used to build the .rpm. The cmake command is:

/usr/bin/cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH=/usr/lib64 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR:PATH=/usr/libexec -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR:PATH=/etc -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/include -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib64 -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/etc -DSHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/share -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO:STRING=-DNDEBUG -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO:STRING=-DNDEBUG -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON '-DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags' -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS:BOOL=OFF

Today I tried to do:

+%cmake -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=

instead of

+%cmake

and now I'm getting this error instead which is similar and has the same workaround:

shlomif@telaviv1:~$ inkscape
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgdl_LIB.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=^C
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ LD_5~^CBRARY_PATH=/home/shlomif/apps/glibc-git-to-del/lib/ m
ake test
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ export ^C
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/inkscape inkscape

(inkscape:17467): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory base/ of theme oxygen has no size field

shlomif@telaviv1:~$

I'm also going to try with setting it to =OFF.

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

OK, same problem as comment #2 when doing:

+%cmake -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=OFF

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

I tried cancelling more flags but to no avail. Then I looked at the output of "strace inkscape" and saw this:

open("/usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/../lib/inkscape/tls/x86_64/libgdl_LIB.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/../lib/inkscape/tls/x86_64", 0x7ffd701aa7f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

stat("/lib64/tls", 0x7ffd701aa7f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib64/x86_64/libgdl_LIB.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

open("/lib64/libgdl_LIB.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Based on this - another workaround for starting /usr/bin/inkscape is to symlink /usr/lib/lib to point to /usr/lib.

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

OK, I have some news: by building inkscape inside the .src.rpm with this command, it successfully builds and runs:

/usr/bin/cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr

I'll attach my diff to the Mageia src.rpm checkout soon and I'll continue bisecting.

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

The working Mageia src.rpm configuration that runs inkscape fine - not a patch to inkscape itself.

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

OK, I was able to reduce the problem to this scenario ( also tested outside of the src.rpm build):

export LDFLAGS=' -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--enable-new-dtags'
cmake .. -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON '-DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags'

Is this a bug at our side?

Hi, is this still an issue with the latest Inkscape version (0.92.4)?

[Shlomi Fish (shlomif-gmail)]

@Qantas: after building the 0.92.4 tarball using:

<<<
export LDFLAGS=' -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--enable-new-dtags'
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/apps/to-del-inkscape" -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON '-DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags'
>>>

with this patch applied: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/inkscape/current/SOURCES/im7.patch?view=log

and installing it, I get:

```
[shlomif@telaviv1 ~]$ /home/shlomif/apps/to-del-inkscape/bin/inkscape
/home/shlomif/apps/to-del-inkscape/bin/inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
