Shared lib error, juffed won't run

[Brent Bartlett]

I have juffed_0.9.1137-1_amd64 and juffed-plugins_0.9.1137-1_amd64 installed.
juffed will not run from the GUI.

When I attempt to run it from the terminal, all I get is this error:

juffed: error while loading shared libraries: libjuff.so.0.9: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Could you please perform
$ find /usr/lib -name "libjuff*"
and
$ find /usr/lib64 -name "libjuff*"
and tell me the results?

P.S.: terribly sorry for the late response...

I have the same problem with Mint 12 (Ubuntu 11.10 x64 based)

this produces no results:
$ find /usr/lib -name "libjuff*"

This produces the following result:
$ find /usr/lib64 -name "libjuff*"
/usr/lib64/libjuff.so.0.9

What is the standard lib path in 64 bit Ubuntu? Is it /usr/lib or /usr/lib64?
Say, if you do

$ ldd `which gedit`

where is the majority of the libs located?

It's definitely a packaging issue, I think I can easily resolve it once given the info.

The bug is still there on Precise x86_64. The library is installed as /usr/lib64/libjuff.so.0.9. It should be installed in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu instead.

Verified, a small workaround like "sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libjuff.so.0.9 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjuff.so.0.9" does the trick. Then it works without any fuss.

I marked this as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/juffed/+bug/874479, because it is as Leon (lehjr) indicated.
