    Missing Library

    Hello everyone

    I'm trying to use a software but I keep getting the following error:
    Code:
    failed to load /usr/fl/baselight-3.2.2457/ici/ici4spfx.so, libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    ./tl-cal: line 16: [: !=: unary operator expected
    failed to load /usr/fl/baselight-3.2.2457/ici/ici4gigl.so, libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    where ./tl-cal is what I type to run the software.

    I searched around about this error but didn't find a solution. Some suggested installing openmotif, which I can confirm is installed.

    Code:
    [root@sys20 lib]# rpm -qa openmotif
    openmotif-2.2.4-21
    [root@sys20 lib]# rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" openmotif
    openmotif.x86_64
    Does anyone have any other suggestions, please?

    Thanks a lot

    The application that is trying to load the shared library cannot find it in the directory it was in when the program was linked by the developer. If you can find the libraries somewhere on your system, you can add the directory you find them in to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. It should be able to find them now. FWIW, I don't think that these "baselight" libraries are part of openmotif, though the openmotif library libXm is the component loading them, probably because they are plugins that are loaded with the dlopen() function call.

    Also, the only references I could find to baselight on the web was for a Linux-based color-grading system used for video processing. This isn't one of those systems, is it?

    Thanks for replying Rubberman. I copied the file from another computer to mine and it works fine now.

    And yes baselight is for a Linux-based color-grading system used for video processing. That's the one I was trying to load.


    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much.
    Glad to help. From their web site, I was under them impression that they were in the business of bundling their software with their own hardware. Do they also sell the software package as a separate item? My sister-in-law does video production and animation. If she doesn't know about this tool she might be interested in it, though I doubt she'd want to purchase a bunch of new boxes.
