Re: Fuse and fuse_loop

[OtcFormula]

Thanks for the help.

I've never had to muck with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ldconfig with perl modules. I use g-cpan under Gentoo which has (thus far) always set things up right for any given module I install.

Can you suggest steps, or perhaps a primer or howto, for diagnosing this kind of library issue in general, or this one in particular?

I'll attempt to contact the module maintainer too, perhaps something will come of that.

Thanks friends!

I already gave it to you :) You let ldd tell you which dynamic libraries Fuse.so needs, and then you add the directory paths where those libraries reside to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Its like managing your %PATH%

Check out the things I linked, they're starting points that helped me

  libfuse...$  sh configure --enable-static --enable-shared
  libfuse...$  make
  libfuse...$  make test
  libfuse...$  make install
  

  later

  export FUSELIBS=pkg-config --libs fuse
  export FUSELIBS=pkg-config --cflags fuse
  
  or
  
  export FUSELIBS=pkg-config --static --libs fuse
  export FUSECFLAGS=pkg-config --static --cflags fuse
  

  later

  Fuse-0.09_4$ perl Makefile.PL "LIBS=-L/where/lubfuse.so/lives -lfuse" 
  +"INC=-I/where/libfuse.h/lives"
  
  or
  
  Fuse-0.09_4$ perl Makefile.PL "LIBS=$FUSECFLAGS"  "INC=$FUSECFLAGS"
  

  then

  make
  make test
  make install
  

  Sometimes Makefile.PL (or Build.PL) authors try to help you, so you have to pass options a different way
Hope this helps
