gtags: cannot open shared object '/usr/local/lib/gtags/pygments-parser'.

[Jun Inoue]

The summary pretty much says it all. Invoking the gtags command with no arguments, in any directory, gives that error message, and no GTAGS database is created. It seems there's a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtags/pygments-parser.so, but preloading that with LD_PRELOAD doesn't help. It seems the program insists on finding pygments-parser in that hard-coded directory.

I just upgraded from impish, and before that it was working fine. There's a seemingly related post on the global mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-global/2014-10/msg00000.html but it's pretty old (2014!) so I'm not sure how relevant it is.
