Error with libgosu.so (Linux)

Hi i'm Luis!!

After compiling Gosu and files of the game, I get the desired executable. The problem is now, because when I run the program, console throw the following error:

. / program: error while loading shared libraries: libgosu.so: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I understand, the problem is to load the library libgosu.so, ... I go to gosu/ lib and the file is there too I'll usr/local/lib and is also there.

I have enough hours gosu deleting files, compiling again ... so I do not know if I touched something and screwed.
As compiled Gosu says explains on its website:

. / configure
make
sudo make install

Thanks!!

Hello Luis,

Linking errors on Linux are tricky. I'm not really sure why such a thing would happen, but here are a few sanity checks you can do:

Run ldd ./program and make sure each line has a => in it. A missing => means the linker is having trouble with that library. It could be that libgosu.so depends on a library that it can't find.

Another possibility is to run ldconfig -p | grep gosu so make sure your linker has libgosu registered! If it doesn't, run 'ldconfig' and try again.

Cheers!
