Ckb-next: ckb next gui is not starting due to missing shared library

Created on 9 Oct 2020 · 5Comments · Source: ckb-next/ckb-next

General information

The UI won't start anymore. The daemon is working.
Don't know exactly when the issue appeared, as I just installed a new kernel and rebooted.

How and where did you get this program, e.g.:

This should be a temporary fix until we can get an updated version ckb-next.

There's nothing to do on our side. You have to rebuild the package on your end and it will link against the correct version.

I think the issue seems to be quazip was updated to a newer version in a recent update to Arch. I guess ckb-next needs to be recompiled with quazip 1.0-1. The error I am seeing is:

ckb-next: error while loading shared libraries: libquazip5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@pakro I just had a quick look to figure out the issue, it looks like in a recent update of quazip the library files were renamed from libquazip5 to libquazip1-qt5. What worked for my was creating a syn link from the new file to the old file it was looking for, so if you run this in a terminal, ckb-next should start working again:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libquazip1-qt5.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libquazip5.so.1

This should be a temporary fix until we can get an updated version ckb-next.

Ok I've tried rebuilding but the build seems to be cached or at least some parts of it. I will clear the cache and recompile it. Thank you kindly for the help!

Thank you sir, confirming that this workaround works
