Seems to be a general problem with FFI that it only looks for libopendbx.so. Maybe it would be better for FFI to let the linker do the job (if possible). > > Please don't forget to also install the > > libopendbx-dev package before compiling and linking your code to have the > > header file and the link (/usr/lib/libopendbx.so) to the current library > > (/usr/lib/libopendbx.so.1) available. > > I didn't understand this.

You don't need the "dev" package if you run the resulting binary code. Otherwise, the "dev" package creates the /usr/lib/libopendbx.so link for you automatically which might be a workaround as long als FFI only looks for a file with this name.
