Description

Describe the bug

After a clean make / make-install in Ubuntu 22.04, LTFS fails to run because it seems to be looking for libltfs.so.0 in a different place than where it sits.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install all dependencies (apt install automake autoconf libtool fuse uuid libxml2 libxml2-dev libsnmp-dev pkg-config libfuse-dev uuid-dev icu-devtools)
  2. Git clone https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs
  3. Execute ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, make install
  4. Run "ltfs" on the shell (sudo or not)

ltfs: error while loading shared libraries: libltfs.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Worth nothing that libltfs.so.0 was properly generated and exists:

sudo find / -name libltfs.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libltfs.so.0
/home/user/ltfs/src/libltfs/.libs/libltfs.so.0

Expected behavior The application should run.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu Linux 22.04 - 5.15.0-97-generic

Research direction
Run 'sudo ldconfig' to update the shared library cache, or set LD LIBRARY PATH to include /usr/local/lib before running ltfs.
