Getting qextserial to work

[eva2002]

I tried by coping over the lib files to the executable folder and also /usr/lib. however when I run the executables, the program crashes. Under Debug screen I got tons of warnings.

Starting /home/EVA/Desktop/Project/c-examples/mul_form/mul_form...

warning: .dynamic section for "/lib/libpthread.so.0" is not at the expected address
.dynamic section for "/lib/libpthread.so.0" is not at the expected address

Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/85/b6149a8377a357541e89471eb7ee92474cc8de.debug

there are tons of it. Any idea how to resolve this. thanks.

Once upon a time I had this problem. I know of three ways to fix it, two of which high_flyer mentioned above. They are:

1. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/qextserialport.so.1/ (somewhat frowned upon - see how-to referenced below)
2. cp qextserialpport.so.1 /executable/directory/
3. as root - add "/path/to/qextserialport.so.1/" to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (man ldconfig & man ld.so)

Here is a good read on shared libraries FYI.
