First, I really am thankful for all the help received. The "problem" was solved.
Now, some thoughts about the "world we live in": Am I to read the manual ? "man ldconfig", "man ldd"? Just to install something that should have already did the trick (lensfun installation. the problem here was not about dt directly), since I installed it with sudo ? That's Linux. That's the world we live in. One must know about everything, must compile things, must deal with compilations and installations of libraries and installations of installations of libraries ;-)) Don't get me wrong, I'm not pissed of ;-) I'm just thinking about how Linux is still hundred years behind the common user. My mom, for instance. Linux is for the braves. And, for being Linux, nothing really works as it should in every flavour it has. For instance, the ldd command did not work as expected in the case of Patrick Shaman. And he must be much more expert than me in Linux ;-)) You see? Happens with everyone. And we have to deal with it, since it's a world we seems to be building together while it spins. I'm a programmer, also. Java, wicket, html, that kind of stuff. And a linux fan and even more of dt. But ... sometimes... it's so hard to live in this world... Best regards, and thanks again! André (off topic: I'm dealing with making a TP-Link dongle 5ghz to work in my linux machine. At windows, it was a breese) 2018-04-18 11:29 GMT-03:00 Patrick Shanahan <[email protected]>: > * Remco Viëtor <[email protected]> [04-18-18 08:41]: > > On mercredi 18 avril 2018 14:03:03 CEST Patrick Shanahan wrote: > > > * Remco Viëtor <[email protected]> [04-18-18 01:48]: > > > > On mercredi 18 avril 2018 05:40:28 CEST [email protected] > wrote: > > > > > On Tue, Apr 17, 2018, at 18:45, André Felipe Carvalho wrote: > > > > > > I think I need to symlink the library to someplace dt expects. > But... > > > > > > why > > > > > > does it find the library at compilation time, but not when > executing? > > > > > > > > > > Are you sure /usr/local/lib is the right place to be installing on > your > > > > > system, as opposed to, say, /usr/lib64? > > > > > > > > Yes, /usr/local/lib is the usual place for locally installed > libraries. > > > > /usr/lib64 is supposed to hold the libraries installed by your > > > > distribution.
