MusE unable to start after (some?) updates

Post by Tutorius »

Hi,
i use MusE with Arch-Linux. Did pla with it some days ago, and arch got some update(s).
Now MusE is not able to start, error-message is

"muse4: error while loading shared libraries: librtaudio.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Any hints what to do to get it running again?

Thanks a lot

Hartmut

Found a (perhaps dirty) solution:

I created a link in my lib-directory linking librtaudio.so.7 to librtaudio.so.6.

works, as far i can say afte some minutes playing music...

Thanks a lot,any comments?

Hm, I had some trouble with rtaudio recently:
https://github.com/thestk/rtaudio/issues/406

In my case it was because I had manually built and installed rtaudio separately
but an older distro-packaged version was already installed and
MusE found the wrong library.

Is it possible you have manually built and installed rtaudio and
there is already an older packaged version installed?

It was m fault. I did some testing of compiled MusE-versions in the past (perhaps you remember :) ) and there was one muse4-executable left in /usr/local/bin, this was the old one. The version was updated to a 4.2-version, but remained a 4.1 by this when started without path. And this version needed the so.6 instead of the so.7. Works now...
