Error loading shared libraries
I'm running eclipse on Ubuntu using a g++ compiler and I'm trying to run a sample program that utilizes xerces.
The build produced no errors however, when i attempted to run the program, I would receive this error:
error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c-3.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libxerces-c-3.1.so is in the directory /opt/lib which I have included as a library in eclipse. The file is there when I checked the folder. When I perform an echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, /opt/lib is also listed.
Any ideas into where the problem lies? Thanks.
An ldd libxerces-c-3.1.so command yields the following output:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffeafff000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007fa3d2b83000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fa3d2966000)

libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa3d23dc000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa3d2059000)

Answer
Try running ldconfig as root to see if it solves the problem.
