[LAU] Installation issues with zita on Ubuntu 14.0

[Benny Alexandar]

Hi All,

I had faced some issues with zita installation.
While installing zita-a2j/j2a by default it installed under /usr/local/lib64 folder.
I need to export this path.

While running zita-a2j it throwed an error saying couldn't find libzita-resampler.so.1
and when checked it is named as "libzita-resampler.so.1.6.0"
I need to create a soft link to this lib as "libzita-resampler.so.1"

Is this thr right way to install zita or an I missing something.

Zita what?

Seemingly you are talking about zita-ajbridge and zita-resampler.

Strange, it should be a path to bin, not to lib.

There should be no need to create a link. Indeed, the right path here
is lib. There already should be the needed links in either /usr/local
or /usr.

libzita-resampler.so -> libzita-resampler.so.1.6.0
libzita-resampler.so.1 -> libzita-resampler.so.1.6.0
libzita-resampler.so.1.6.0

Did you run

sudo ldconfig

?

You missed to provide what you actually did.

To avoid a local path you could build with

PREFIX=/usr

To "configure dynamic linker run-time bindings" you need to run

sudo ldconfig

after installing a library.

Btw. your PATH variable should include /usr/local/bin.

The version on my website will install in /usr/local/bin, not /usr/local/lib64.

You need to ensure that /usr/local/lib64 is used by the loader/linker.
See /etc/ld.so.conf.d.

Oops, the Arch Linux PKGBUILDs indeed include a few link and path
fixes.

FWIW on Ubuntu you could run

sudo checkinstall

instead of

sudo makeinstall

When installing a package (e.g. build with checkinstall), there's no
need to run ldconfig.
