 Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:11 am Post subject: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object Arduino [solved] |
 |
|
I put the Arduino 1.6 IDE in /opt/. when I try to upload to an Arduino I get the following error:
/opt/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am trying to figure out what package has libtinfo.so.5..
I could emerge Arduino but I want to use Arduino IDE 1.6.
We use equery to find what packages depend on a package.
How to we find out what has libtinfo.so.5 in it?
Thanks,
cwc

Hi cwc
Seems you've almost answered your own question:
| Quote: | | We use equery to find what packages depend on a package. |
So:
| Code: | | equery belongs libtinfo.so |
will follow the mapping from the file libtinfo.so to its parent package **if** (big 'if') some installation via Portage's emerge command had installed libtinfo.so in the first place. But if libtinfo.so arrived through some other means (or if libtinfo.so doesn't exist) then equery will fail, as it requires the file<->package mappings that Portage maintains.
for more information.

And, somewhat later...
| Quote: | | I could emerge Arduino but I want to use Arduino IDE 1.6 |
I can appreciate using the latest and greatest, but if these are pre-compiled binaries, then it is very possible that the prerequisites those binaries require are not in place. The error message that you are getting when you try to execute this particular binary can arise when (1) the dynamic link loader cannot find libtinfo.so anywhere on your library path, or (2) libtinfo.so exists, but the dynamic link loader discovers a version mis-match when it first opens the library file. Unfortunately, the link loader uses the same error message for both cases, which does confuse people.
It seems to me that your best recourse is to follow the instructions here: Arduino on Gentoo Linux, which look to be pretty comprehensive insofar as getting all of the perquisite pieces in place. Of course, at the end of the day, you will be emerging dev-embedded/arduino-1.0.5-r1, which is not the latest and greatest version, but it's the only one in the candy store at the moment.
Good luck and have fun with this.

I forgot about this: http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Gentoo
Thanks for the reply! I'll work on this at a slow pace.

solved problem using arduino 1.6 in $/opt/arduino/arduino
ln -s /lib64/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5
ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so
caution:
look at your libraries before you ln -s

You may add USE flag 'tinfo' to sys-libs/ncurses and re-emerge it, then libtinfo.so will be installed in /usr/lib64/
Then you can use 'ln -s libtinfo.so.6.0 libtinfo.so.5'.

Doing the above, I got an invalid ELF header error.
I use a binary package directly from arduino to compile my 3D printer marlin software. The portage version is too old for it.
Since the problem is just avrdude, I solved the issue differently.
I first did
Then I renamed /home/......../arduino-1.8.1/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude to something as avrdude_arduino (instead of deleting it)
Then I put in the directory /home/......../arduino-1.8.1/hardware/tools/avr/bin/ the symlink | Code: | | ln -s /usr/bin/avrdude avrdude |
This way the binary package arduino calls the emerged avrdude and does not complain.
The hack that I did is in my home directory where the arduino binary is. The Gentoo system is kept clean. |
