0.4.0 on Fedora 15

geormes · 08-19-2011, 01:57 PM

32-bit works great after some minor fiddling. At first it refused to work and complained of static libraries it couldn't find. I looked at sigil.sh in gedit and noted it was adding the current directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable. Due to old habits I don't like to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and prefer to leave it blank,the default on Fedora.

I added the following line to sigil.sh before the if/fi logic:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
Other than changing permissions that was all that was needed.

By changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH you're causing Sigil to use the system libraries (Qt) instead of the bundled ones.

My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is null so the script is adding the custom library files directory to null.
Sigil will not be able to find the static libraries it needs other than the bundled ones

If instead I set LD_LIBRARy PATH to the directory where the static libraries are located and do it in sigil.sh before the the bundled libraries are added, it works.

It has been many years since I did any programming or dealt with bash script files and I may be wayyy out in left field here.

Ah. I see what you're doing. You've added /usr/lib which is later changed to current_dir:/usr/lib. I thought you were completely overriding the path.
