FreeCAD libs installed but not found when program is run (path issues?)

Hi,

FreeCAD 0.13.48 installed from Packman in oS 12.3 KDE 4.11 64-bit.

When run from the cmdline I get:

:~> FreeCAD
FreeCAD: error while loading shared libraries: libFreeCADGui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’m not sure, but it seems that the directory structure is a bit unusual. The partial file listing from Yast is:

I tried including the /usr/lib64/FreeCAD/bin & /lib paths to $PATH but it made no difference:

:~> PATH=/usr/lib64/FreeCAD/lib:$PATH
:~> PATH=/usr/lib64/FreeCAD/bin:$PATH
:~> FreeCAD
FreeCAD: error while loading shared libraries: libFreeCADGui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
:~> $PATH
bash: /usr/lib64/FreeCAD/lib:/usr/lib64/FreeCAD/bin:/home/blimmer/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

The “missing” lib (highlighted in red in both listings above) is installed, however. How do I fix this?

I’m also curious about the “File or folder not found” (Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado) message of $PATH, as all listed folders exist.

Thanks.

Hi
You should probably raise a bug at packman (or jump on th mailing list). If you look at the project page last commit comment it appears to be a bit broken;

As a workaround, you could try to add /usr/lib64/FreeCAD/lib to /etc/ld.conf (or better create a new file with just that in /etc/ld.conf.d/).
Adding the directory to $PATH won’t help with libraries…

@malcom, thank you for the link. Indeed, the 12.3 package is broken, it’s no surprise it wouldn’t run.

@wolfi, thank you for the tip. Although it didn’t work - the package problems are more serious, it seems - I learned something new (for me), and this is always good.

For now I uninstalled FreeCAD mostly due to the constant openCASDADE 600+ MB dependency that is constantly being updated. I’ll come back to it when I have some free time - I’m up to my ears in work right now.

Best regards,

Bruno

You can use the FreeCAD in the kde extra repositories, though it is still on version 0.12, it works.

jblow5599 · October 30, 2013, 3:45pm

Here is what I did on 12.3:

zypper in libftgl2

install these from packman (I did them individually not as a repo)
FreeCAD-0.13.480f28-1.6.x86_64.rpmlibCoin60-3.1.3-5.7.x86_64.rpm
libSoQt20-1.5.0-5.38.x86_64.rpm
OpenCASCADE-6.5.0-15.39.x86_64.rpm
python-cxx-6.2.3-2.2.noarch.rpm
python-pivy-0.5.0svn765-4.4.x86_64.rpm

Then edit /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/lib64/FreeCAD/lib/

ldconfig

Run:
/usr/lib64/FreeCAD/bin/FreeCAD

But now I get a problem with PartDesign.so (cannot find). Putting that in the ls.so.conf did not help. Next step anyone?

wolfi323 · October 30, 2013, 3:53pm

AFAICS this is in the directory /usr/lib64/FreeCAD/Mod/PartDesign/, so try to add that one to ld.so.conf as well (and maybe all the other subdirs in /usr/lib64/MOD/ ?)

conram · October 31, 2013, 5:22am

As malcomlewis mentioned in his reply, i think it is much better to file a bug report
or contact the packager at packman.
