Re: [Freeipmi-users] error while loading shared libraries: libfreeipmi.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Werner Fischer]

Hi Lars and Al,

on my box with Ubuntu 10.10 I had to create a .conf file
in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ - I named it /etc/ld.so.conf.d/freeipmi.conf
with the following contents:

        /usr/local/lib

Afterwards I had to run the "ldconfig" program - then it worked.

Best regards,
Werner
