libvlc.so.2 not found

[Lost Dog]

I tried compiling 0.9.2 from source. I'm using Debian Lenny with a 2.6.26.5 kernel.

My configure is as follows:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --enable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat --enable-swscale --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-dvdread --enable-faad --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-pvr --disable-quicktime --disable-x264 --enable-glx --enable-opengl --enable-oss --enable-mozilla --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde --enable-qt4 --enable-ncurses --enable-release --disable-live555 --enable-shared-libvlc

It compiles and installs with no problems but when I try to run I get:

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

Running whereis libvlc.so.2 returns:

libvlc.so: /usr/local/lib/libvlc.so /usr/local/lib/libvlc.so.2

I tried adding /usr/local/lib to my path but it still did not work. Suggestions?

Edit: I've tried with both --enable-shared-libvlc and --disable-shared-libvlc with no difference.

most likely your ld cache is outdated.

try starting
/sbin/ldconfig (as root) and this might help you.

You sir, are a genius!

I'm not sure why that worked but it did! Looks like I'm going to have to do some reading about ldconfig!
