Re: [Pharo-users] How to set library path for UFFI on Linux?

One obstacle to fixing these problems properly is that handling of library search paths is not centralized, but it really should be. A Pharo package for sqlite or cairo or whatever should provide only the library name; UFFI or some associated package should deal with the search for it. Otherwise

Re: [Pharo-users] How to set library path for UFFI on Linux?

Usually there are a number of names to try but on Linux, there are less users and more distros, so people are not adding more libs to try. So, yes, symlink in the plugin directory works usually. Alternative would be to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or pkg_config support to do this cleanly (not done at

Re: [Pharo-users] How to set library path for UFFI on Linux?

It does search on LD_LIBRARY_PATH now, it just fails because it finds the 32-bit libcairo before the 64-bit one. The traceback displayed inside Pharo says "Error: External module not found" which is quite misleading. A minimal fix would be to just provide a better error message. There is a

hi, this is not a bug, UFFI cannot know where a library is (because it can be anywhere). but, not being a bug, this remains a problem :) One solution is to search on LD_LIBRARY_PATH but this is not generalised (it should) for the moment. And of course, this is a solution that works for linux

That pointed me in the right direction, thanks. I've got it working now. I think there's a bug there which may bite other people --- If you have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the library installed, Unix64ModuleName can find the 32-bit version first (depending on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and

[Pharo-users] How to set library path for UFFI on Linux?

I've just installed the 64-bit version of Pharo 6.1 on OpenSuse linux (64 bit). The Athens demos fail because UFFI looks for libcairo in /usr/lib rather the /usr/lib64. I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH but that has no effect. How can I force it to use lib64? Dan -- Sent from:
