Kylix2

[dcmc]

I have installed kylix2 under SuSE 8.0. The program works fine, and compiled programs run when kylix is open.
When the executable is run outside kylix, I get the following error - " error while loading shared libraries: bplvisualclx.so.6.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I can see this file, and "kylixpath" points to the coreect directories when compiling.
What am I doin wrong, please?

Hello,

Your answer is InstallMade. http://www.superobject.com/installmade/

Basically for the Kylix app to run yo need to have the appropriate library and bin folders in the lib path of the operating system.

InstallMade does a good job and basically it provides a self contained running environment for your app. Check it out

You need to add the path that points to the libraries in your bash logon script. The enviroment variable is LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I only have Kylix but I assume its the same.

Or you can add the path that bplvisualclx.so.6.5 resides in to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig as root.

Many thanks for your help.

I couldn't find the scripts I needed, so following what was said - I cheated by creating links to the missing files ( there were 5 in the end) from /opt/kylix2/bin to /lib

It worked, even though it may be inelegant
