Public bug reported:
Background: I have been using rvc to manage an ESXi server -- this is a
Ruby gem that called an API to talk to the server. It wants ffi for
better tab completion, so I also have libffi-ruby installed.
Now whenever I run rvc, I get this:
Error loading readline-ffi: Could not open library 'libreadline.so':
libreadline.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory. Could not open library 'readline.so': readline.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory. Tab completion will
be limited.
However, when I strace rvc to see where it's looking for readline and/or
libreadline, I actually see this several times in the output:
open("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/readline.so", O_RDONLY) = 3
So readline.so *is* there and ruby *can* (and does) load it, but I am
still getting this error. I'm not sure if it's a bug in the rvc code,
or the ruby runtime itself, but I suspect the runtime so I'm filing it
here.
