Error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.10: cannot open shared object file

Question

I'm trying to work on an OpenGL project at home on my Linux PC.

I got this error when launching my OpenGL project with "./executable"

I have already installed libglew-dev package, and also I can't find the file "libGLEW.so.1.10" in my directories.

I don't know how I could install it in the right place.

The dev package provides headers and source for you to, well, develop with.

Now, on the target machine, you need to install the normal package that provides the shared libraries.

The Ubuntu package list has some candidates: from your question it looks like you're using v1.10, so libglew1.10.

The documentation has some ways to do it manually without a package manager.

`libglew2.0` on this Debian Stable box, [same on Ubuntu looks like](https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libglew2.0). – genpfault Jan 04 '19 at 15:37

@genpfault Probably `libglew1.10` based on the package list and the name of the `.so` being searched for – Lightness Races in Orbit Jan 04 '19 at 15:38
Ah, good point, I glossed over that. – genpfault Jan 04 '19 at 15:40
@genpfault Me too :P – Lightness Races in Orbit Jan 04 '19 at 15:41
Oh thanks a lot, i've download the libglew1.10 package from the internet and my project launched. I did not think of taking the 1.10 instead of 2.0 version. thanks really – Djinnmercure Jan 04 '19 at 15:45
