stlink: Broken dependencies in installed files

Operating system: Linux, Ubuntu 16.04
Stlink tools version: from HASH b5bbf3d
Stlink commandline tool name: all programms

The problem is from commit b5bbf3d until last commit. I build st-link programs from source. Everythink is OK. After installing “sudo make install”, I ran the program “st-info” (or other st-xxxx program) and this is output:

st-info: error while loading shared libraries: libstlink.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I try the installation procedure on 3 different PC, same result.

Output from ldd /usr/local/st-info:

linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffd4e7f0000) libstlink.so.1 => not found …

Solution was:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

After this, everythink works fine.

but I think, this is hack. It can be in installation script or in linker settings.

It works for me (commit g7b358fe):

make install to custom destination dir:

this may be fixed via sudo ldconfig

Slavjan on Apr 28, 2018

This is not a hack, because package maintainers always run ld-config after a library is installed. Then the library is added to the cache: /etc/ld.so.cache. You must make sure /usr/local/lib is added to the ld.so.conf search paths. On debian 8 it is configured here:

jjacobs@dev03:~$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

jjacobs@dev03:~$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib

You should read the man-page of ld-config and ldd to understand how executables are dynamically linked.

This is different from Mac OS X, Windows, *BSD so it won’t be added.

Fixed it. I re-installed the 1.6.0 version, using sudo make instead of make and it installed correctly, no more errors occured

sudo ldconfig solves the problem for me…

st-flash: error while loading shared libraries: libstlink.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ldd /usr/local/bin/st-info
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd209cc000)
libstlink.so.1 => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc398cd5000)

ld.so.conf:
#libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib

What the problem??? Ubuntu 16.04.

Solution was: libstlink.so.1 was in /usr/local/lib/lib, you ask: “LOL what???”. It was a step-by-step installation by example -> https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/doc/compiling.md Extracted from lib/lib in lib and everything is fine.

dymbasss on Apr 28, 2018

Could you run ldd /usr/local/bin/st-info ? probably the references to the shared library are not good. I see st-info is looking for libstlink.so.1 is it installed under /usr/local/lib? Maybe ld-config needs to be run before it is found.
