[solved] Linux: Cannot open shared object file
From a QCAD user:
Re: Linux: Cannot open shared object file
Please install the required dependency (Mesa GLU library). The package is likely called "mesa-libGLU" or similar (search your package manager for "GLU" or "mesa").
If you are running 64-bit QCAD on a 64-bit Linux system or 32-bit QCAD on a 32-bit Linux System:
Debian or Ubuntu : apt-get install libglu1-mesa
Fedora : yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
Mandriva : urpmi libmesaglu1
SUSE : zypper install Mesa-libGLU1
If you are running 32-bit QCAD on a 64-bit Linux system (note the 64-bit QCAD packages are available for QCAD since version 3.1):
64-bit Debian or Ubuntu : apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386
64-bit Fedora : yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
64-bit Mandriva : urpmi libmesaglu1
64-bit SUSE : zypper install Mesa-libGLU1-32bit (or Mesa-32bit)
If you are running 64-bit QCAD on a 64-bit Linux system or 32-bit QCAD on a 32-bit Linux System:
Debian or Ubuntu : apt-get install libglu1-mesa
Fedora : yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
Mandriva : urpmi libmesaglu1
SUSE : zypper install Mesa-libGLU1
If you are running 32-bit QCAD on a 64-bit Linux system (note the 64-bit QCAD packages are available for QCAD since version 3.1):
64-bit Debian or Ubuntu : apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386
64-bit Fedora : yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
64-bit Mandriva : urpmi libmesaglu1
64-bit SUSE : zypper install Mesa-libGLU1-32bit (or Mesa-32bit)
Re: Linux: Cannot open shared object file
I had this error after a system update (Debian 7). My system was 64 bit but I'd been running the 32 bit version of QCAD with the 32 bit libs.. More of by accident than plan.
The upshot was, rather than reinstall all the 32 bit libs, I just downloaded the 64 bit version of QCAD and all was well.
