Hello,

Building grass 7 in ubuntu 9.10. Got an error I have seen before on this list.
GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk > g.list: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I put in
matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ dpkg -l|grep libgdal
ii libgdal1-1.5.0 1.5.4-4 Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
ii libgdal1-1.5.0-grass 1.5.4-3 GRASS extension for the GDAL library
ii libgdal1-dev 1.5.4-4 Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - Develo
matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ dpkg -l|grep libproj
ii libproj-dev 4.6.1-5 Cartographic projection library (development
ii libproj0 4.6.1-5 Cartographic projection library
matthew@matthew-laptop:~$

it does exist but when in grass I do

GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk > whereis libgdal.so.1
libgdal.so:
GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk > whereis libgdal.so
libgdal:
GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk > wheris libgdal libgdal
No command ‘wheris’ found, did you mean:
Command ‘whereis’ from package ‘util-linux’ (main)
wheris: command not found
GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk > whereis libgdal libgdal
libgdal:
libgdal:
GRASS 7.0.svn (demolocation):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk >

I don’t think it can find the location because it does not list a dir as it should. Does that sound correct. If so how do I fix it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Matthew

Matthew,

you probably need to make "visible" the path that leads to the directory where
the file "libgdal.so.1" is placed. You can set this under "/etc/ld.so.conf"
directly or as a ".conf" file under "/etc/ld.so.conf.d/".

For example I have within "/etc/ld.so.conf" the following entry (among many
others):
--%<---
/usr/local/lib
--%<---

Once you have done that it is required to execute ldconfig (under ubuntu
usually as a superuser, i.e.: "sudo ldconfig").

As to how you can "trace" files in your system, you can use the "locate"
command. But before "locate" can search for a file in _its_ index (database),
the latter must be updated. So... :

# update db
sudo updatedb

# locate the file of interest
locate libgdal.so.1

I hope this helps, Nikos
