Issue with compiling OpenSludge

Question

I've tried compiling an adventure game sdk called OpenSludge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensludge/). I can compile everything okay include libalure through git (openal library). But whenever I try to load this application it says it can't find the libalure.so.1 file. I check in usr/local/lib directory and it is sitting there with it's symbolic link?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Answer 1

One thing to try is:

ldconfig -vv | grep libalure

... libalure.so.1 -> libalure.so

This will tell you if your library is being dynamically linked, make sure you've got a reference to /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d as well

(it's now automatically referenced in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc)
