Restund giving me error: libre.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I installed libre 0.4.16 on my server using the following (I did this as root):

wget http://creytiv.com/pub/re-0.4.16.tar.gz
tar xf re-0.4.16.tar.gz
cd re-0.4.16/
make
make install

After that, I went back into the parent folder, and installed restund like so:

wget http://creytiv.com/pub/restund-0.4.12.tar.gz
tar xf restund-0.4.12.tar.gz
cd restund-0.4.12/
make
make install

After this, I tried running the following in the main folder:

restund ./restund-0.4.12/etc/restund.conf

And it gave me this error:

restund: error while loading shared libraries: libre.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched this up, and I ran ldconfig in the main directory, but to no avail.

Any other fixes for this problem? Is it because I'm running it as the root user?

I'm running CentOS 6.4 Linux on my server, if that helps.

I think libre installs to /usr/local/lib by default. So you need to add that to your library path or set DESTDIR to /usr/lib/ in the Makefile.

could you provide more detail? sorry - not very familiar with the Linux environment :) – Lucas May 12 '16 at 06:34
I checked, and yes you're right - there's a `libre.so` file inside `/usr/local/lib`. What should I do from here? – Lucas May 12 '16 at 06:35
quickest way is to [set LD_LIBRARY_PATH](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13428910/how-to-set-the-environmental-variable-ld-library-path-in-linux). Better yet is to change the system library path as shown (here)[http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/10/how-to-add-shared-libraries-to-linuxs.html]. Or you edit the Makefile and reinstall to /usr/lib. So many choices :-) – Philipp Hancke May 12 '16 at 06:42

Please add some explanation to your code such that others can learn from it – Nico Haase Apr 28 '20 at 11:34
