vlc 1.0 can't work libvlccore.so.2 cannot find

[st.yeyo]

I use Ubuntu904 system (upgrade from 810), then I paste a entry from 'Launchpad i386 vlc 1.0.0' into source.list, then
apt-get install vlc, but it can't work, its told me

Code: Select all

vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libvlccore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have already installed libvlccore0 libvlccore0 and libvlccore-dev, how can I get libvlccore.so.2?

It is mostly the maintainer of the "Launchpad i386 vlc 1.0.0" who made a mistake or forgot something.

Try those lines in a terminal:

Code: Select all

$ locate libvlccore

It should list something like /usr/[local/]lib/libvlccore.so*, remember this folder. If it is not the case, use "sudo updatedb" (long), and retry. If it still fail, your VLC install is only partial.

Code: Select all

$ sudo ldconfig -v

This should print a bunch of .so and their folders. Are libvlcore and its folder listed?

If it is listed, you can retry to launch VLC. Otherwise, try this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vlc-1.0-launchpad-libdir.conf # Write the folder of libvlccore.so as the single line in the file. # Then write/quit nano using ctrl+X and 'y'

And retry this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo ldconfig -v

or (to have a faster check):

Code: Select all

$ sudo ldconfig -v|grep vlc

As a final check, use this command (shown here with my results). It should give you which libvlccore have been found. It must be set otherwise VLC will not work.

Code: Select all
