CtrlrX-5.6.34 can't find libsframe.so.1 on Linux Fedora 43

[mtarenskeen]

I want to try the precompiled version from https://github.com/damiensellier/CtrlrX/releases/download/v5.6.34/CtrlrX-5.6.34-Linux.zip on my Fedora 43 system.

When I start the standalone binary I get this error message:

./CtrlrX: error while loading shared libraries: libsframe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libsframe is part of the binutils.
If I type in my terminal:

rpm -ql binutils | grep libsframe

I see this:

/usr/lib64/libsframe.so
/usr/lib64/libsframe.so.2
/usr/lib64/libsframe.so.2.0.0

but no libsframe.so.1

How to fix my problem?

Oops I have absolutely no idea.
Maybe John @dnaldoog can help you about this, I know he's using fedora 42 and he wrote the tutorial about compiling on fedora 42.

I checked and it seems the best would be to rebuild CtrlrX with lbsframe.so.2 but I need to check how to do that on my github action compiling the binaries on the github server with the right environment.

Gemini suggested symlinking libsframe.so.1 to libsframe.so.2 or the other way round.

• Run this to search for the file name

sudo dnf provides '*/libsframe.so.1'

• or if it fails:

sudo dnf search libsframe1

• The common workaround (though sometimes discouraged due to potential ABI incompatibility) is to create a symbolic link from the newer file to the older name, if you confirm the newer version is installed:

Bash

# Example if libsframe.so.2 is present and you need libsframe.so.1
# NOTE: Only do this if you are sure the application requiring .so.1 is compatible with .so.2
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libsframe.so.2 /usr/lib/libsframe.so.1

I don't know if it's going to work or will break your computer, I don't have LINUX.

It looks like you might have to recompile using these instructions:

• How to compile CtrlrX in Linux RomanKubiak/ctrlr#728

or, as Damien suggested perhaps:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libsframe.so.2 /usr/lib/libsframe.so.1

There's a new version of Debian too, so I wonder if that will need updating?

This is 5.6.35 first commit, I bumped the github runner libsframe to libsframe.so.2 :

Here is the installer : https://github.com/damiensellier/CtrlrX/releases/download/v5.6.34/CtrlrX-5.6.35-Linux-libsframe2.zip

Please check if it's working and let me know.

thanks

Sorry, still getting this:
./CtrlrX: error while loading shared libraries: libsframe.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I tried creating a symlink from so.2 to so.1 (not recommended, but worth trying). But then it was showing this:
./CtrlrX: /lib64/libsframe.so.1: version LIBSFRAME_1.0' not found (required by ./CtrlrX)``

P.S. Fedora 43 is brandnew, I just upgrade from Fedora 42 a week ago.

[damiensellier]

the installer I provided above is simlinking to so.2 it means CtrlrX is build with this lib on the github server.
that is very strange it's still looking for .so.1

I really don't know what to do. Could you try compiling it on your own computer with the available resources? Maybe this will work?

[dnaldoog]

I just upgraded to Fedora 43 and tried sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libsframe.so.2 /usr/lib/libsframe.so.1 - that doesn't work.

How do I now compile CtrlrX locally?

There's no Makefile anymore :(

make CONFIG=Release

[damiensellier]

there's a cmakelist at the root of the repo and I can give you the makefile that is autogenerated from the projucer :

Builds.zip

I think you need to tweak it a little bit to get it work properly based on this one (5.6.33) but 5.6.34 and 5.6.35 has new .Cpp and .h : https://github.com/damiensellier/CtrlrX/blob/89d3a209e8e90a2a88545d90d47fbaea7800e510/Builds/LinuxMakefile/Makefile

[dnaldoog]

It looks like you have to do

mkdir ~/CtrlrX/build
cd build
cmake ..

but I am getting an error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:260 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findzstd.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "zstd", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "zstd" with any of
  the following names:

    zstdConfig.cmake
    zstd-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "zstd" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "zstd_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "zstd"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

I have libzstd-devel and zstd installed.

You can open the CMakeLists.txt and remove the line saying find_package(zstd REQUIRED) around line 260... Then see how far you get... If needed you can also comment other such find_... statements and manually set the libraries to link to in the target_link_libraries call, to experiment...

I haven't tried later Ubuntu versions yet (lately have been making more music than programming 😉

[damiensellier]

Hi Hedde @sgorpi ! I really went deep in the github action script, this is very very powerful. Thanks a lot for all the work you did on this.

I'm checking right now on the server via the actions if the included lib soname is 2 or 1
