Woe: .deb install on Debian Squeeze

attilathenun · January 16, 2012, 8:41am

Hello,

I’m beavering away trying to install from the latest .deb release. I’m running Debian Squeeze with kde on a 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel.

So far, I’ve followed the instructions here for a 64-bit install, and both the spelling libraries and Scrivener install happened smoothly.

The install went to /usr/share/LiteratureAndLatte/

The first problem I had was the Scrivener command not found in terminal, and I solved this by creating a symlink for the executable in /usr/local/bin/ which is where my system was looking for it.

The next error that I am getting and have not solved is this one:

Scrivener: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’ve googled about and looked on the forums here. I’ve checked whether all the library links are pointing to the right places, and I can’t see any problems here, but just in case I’m totally blind here is the output:

libqtwebkit seems to me to be pointing to the correct soname here. But it seems to get murkier. I ran:

export LD_DEBUG=files Scrivener

Which output:

3756:     file=libQtWebKit.so.4 [0];  needed by Scrivener [0]

All 18.5 meg of libQtWebKit.so.4.7.4 is sitting in /usr/share/LiteratureAndLatte/lib and from the above it seems to be linked to libQtWebKit.so.4

Hmmm. So here was the next lot of LD_DEBUG output, this time using libs:

Now, my invisible specs are starting to fog up but from what I can see here, the system is flailing about trying to find that file in all sorts of places but where it is.

So here are my questions: am I missing something and blindly stumbling on? If so, what? And, if I need to instruct the system on where to find the correct file, how can I do this?

Thanks for any advice - and apologies for huge screeds of code output

Caveat that I’m not using a 64 bit distro, but I don’t think you’re missing something. I’ve been having some similar problems on my laptop with the most recent build of Scrivener.

You said you made a simlink to Scrivener? Did you try something like this, instead?

#!/bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/LiteratureAndLatte/lib: /usr/local/LiteratureAndLatte/bin/Scrivener

or (editing to reflect your paths):

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /lib:/usr/local/LiteratureAndLatte/lib /usr/local/LiteratureAndLatte/bin/Scrivener

When I can get the newest version of scrivener (linux native) to load, it does so extremely slowly, and then running other programs after it are a problem. I think something is messed up in the 1.01 build. I don’t have a problem on my desktop, however. (Older version of Slackware I’m reticent to upgrade now.)

Thanks for the suggestions, garpu.

I’m not willing to try tinkering with LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it’s just a bit much of a risky/hacky route for my liking.

ld.so is giving me:

Scrivener: error while loading shared libraries: Scrivener: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which might be a syntax error on my part, so I’ll have another go in a bit. Though, from what you’re saying, I might be best to hold out for the next beta release and see if I have any more luck with that.

garpu · January 21, 2012, 12:21pm

Are you comfortable with WINE? That might be an option.

If not, Miss Attila, Vic-k swears by Jameson Irish Whiskey & Guinness.
Take care, and welcome to the Murky World of Scrivener!

garpu gave a wonderful suggestion which only mungs LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the duration of the Scrivener invocation (that was his first idea). Is there a reason why you can’t try that? Something’s going to have to tell the loader where to search. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is where the loader is told that information. That first command line only modifies the library path for the duration of the Scrivener run, not permanently. Just cut and paste it into a shell and have a go. And if it works, you can make an alias of the command line that launches Scrivener that way permanently.

But I honestly see nothing wrong with modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the location(s) of the libraries that Scrivener needs.
