CodeLite install broken

[nixuser]

On current Tumbleweed installing CodeLite (8.1-1.25) using zypper fails. Executable cannot run due to it not being able to open the shared library libplugin.so so looks like a broken dependency. However if I look at what provides libplugin.so I have 2 packages installed (codelite & libQt5Gui5) that supposedly provide it.

Anyone seen this and have an easy way to fix it?

Hello and welcome to these forums.

Why we understand that you want to tell us what you think tha happens, we always like to see what you did and got. So please not (only) say "installing X using zypper fails", but copy/paste from your terminal window from and including the line with the prompt and the zypper command up to and including the next prompt in a post between CODE tags. You get the CODE tags by clicking on the button with the # in the tool bar of the post editor. That will look somewhat like:

boven:~ # zypper in aap
Loading repository data...
'aap' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'aap' found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.
boven:~ #

Same for your trial to run the program. We want to see what you saw.

Same for you looking what is installed.

Fortunately I had a clean virtual machine from a time before I installed CodeLite, so I was able to retrace my steps.

(3) Now to run:

zim$ codelite
codelite: error while loading shared libraries: libplugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
zim$

[nixuser]

The library libplugin.so appears to be there also.

zim$ ls -l /usr/lib64/codelite/libplugin.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5218480 Aug 21 07:58 /usr/lib64/codelite/libplugin.so
zim$

So I am a bit perplexed.

[nixuser]

If I copy libplugin.so from /usr/lib64/codelite/ to /usr/lib64/ I get an error with a different library:

zim$ codelite
codelite: error while loading shared libraries: liblibcodelite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
zim$

Honestly it looks like CodeLite isn't looking in its own /usr/lib64/codelite/ directory for the libraries. Presumably if I am prepared to make a big mess in /usr/lib64/ I could get it to run.
