I'm attempting to configure an oculus rift for this I need to execture ./OculusConfigUtil_i386

This gives me the following error: 

./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then doing 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libudev0:i386
sudo apt-get install libudev0

both eturned that the packagep(:i386) has no installation candidate.

This worked for me, but gave me the error: 

./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when trying to run the script again. any ideas?

Running:

ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | grep libudev

Gives this output: 

 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      34 jul 22 09:56 libudev.so.0 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 jun 20 02:15 libudev.so.1 -> libudev.so.1.3.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   67600 jun 20 02:16 libudev.so.1.3.5

  • I have installed libdconf1, sudo apt-get install libudev.so.1 also returns unable to locate package libudev.so.1

  • locate is not updated instantly, run sudo updatedb to update it.

  • Nope still the same problem sudo updatedb runs fine (no return value just runs) but all other installs still fail and so does the script

Use sudo apt-get install libudev1 if libudev.so.1 is not already installed then:

sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

  • Well I have libdconf1 (in the linked question) but don't have libudev.so.1 which when I run sudo apt-get install libudev.so.1 returns E: Unable to locate package libudev.so.1 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libudev.so.1'

    sudo apt-get install libudev1 is the command you need to run.

    sudo apt-get install libudev1 returned 17 not upgraded and the rest unchanged sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 returned nothing and the script still doesn't run same error

I've downloaded the libudev0 package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/libudev0 and then install like this:
sudo dpkg -i libudev0_175-0ubuntu9.10_amd64.deb.
it works for me.
