Linux Program can't find Shared Library at run-time

Question

I\'m trying to compile a linux program, id3v2, and it says it is can\'t find the appropriate library:

id3v2: error while loading shared libraries: libid3-3.8.so         


        

Answer 1

I got the same error you did, and after reading the solutions mentioned here, I resolved the problem (on Ubuntu 8) with:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3 /usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3
