[ubuntu-uk] cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[James Morrissey]

Hi,

I am trying to get KBasic working for someone who is an ardent VB
supporter, but in whom i have just managed to pique interest
sufficiently to give this go.

Unfortunately i have had some trouble with the installer, mainly with
getting all the dependencies on the machine. Now i think i have
everything but i am still getting a message about a missing shared
object. When i enter (to run the installer: 'kbide'):

~/Downloads/KBasic$ ./kbide

I get:

./kbide: error while loading shared libraries: libQtSvg.so.4: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

However
"locate  libQtSvg.so.4"

gives

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtSvg.so.4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtSvg.so.4.7
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtSvg.so.4.7.4

So it seems that the directory is there but its not being seen.

Does anyone know what the problem is. On the KBasic site
(http://kbasic.com/download.html) they mention that you have to have
the dependencies in the correct place. As i understand it this was a
problem caused by running 32bit software on a 64bit machine, but this
has been taken care of in Oneric (which i am using). Notably,
libQtSvg.so.4 isn't even mentioned as a dependency and thus i can't
see where the file i meant to be.

Thanks,

james
