Bug 82992 – vsound doesn't run "error while loading shared libraries"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Nick Matteo 2005-02-22 12:47:21 UTC]

I emerged vsound, and it installed fine.  However, when I use it to run any application, I first get errors from the application:

/opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/vsound/libvsound.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


After the application exits, I get a vsound error:

Missing file ./vsound11196.au.
This means that the libvsound wrapper did not work correctlty.
Here are some the possible reasons :
 - You are trying to record a stream (RTSP or PNM protocol) from
   the internet. You will need to use the --timing option.
 - The program you are trying to run is setuid. You will need to
   run vsound as root.
 - Vsound was not properly installed and hence won't work at all.


I am not recording an internet stream, and running as root did not help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge vsound.
2. run with firefox-bin or any application
3.

Actual Results:  
No output  

Expected Results:  
Produced a wave file of sound output

I think the assignment of this bug to the Mozilla Gentoo Team may be in error; the bug has nothing to to with firefox, it's with vsound, and occurs with any application I try.  Firefox is only an example (because I'm trying to record the sound from a flash file.)

I heard somewhere that vsound may not work well with arts/KDE, but when I tried it outside a KDE environment, I got the same error.

[Comment 2 Peter C. Gravelle 2005-04-23 08:21:27 UTC]

It is because vsound is a 64-bit binary and firefox-bin is 32-bit. I have the same problem running it with realplay. Perhaps the ebuild could be remade to include 32-bit binaries? or have a 32-bit USE flag for multilib environments?

[Comment 3 Nick Matteo 2005-04-23 09:32:23 UTC]

I have the same problem with 64-bit binaries, such as XMMS.

[Comment 4 Shigeru Akiyama 2005-07-27 04:06:57 UTC]

I have the same problem when I use vsound to capture output of RealPlayer from
command-line.

And I also think that this problem should be redirected to other teams.

Don't see how mozilla herd would solve this.

[Comment 6 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-01-27 15:38:48 UTC]

noone posted his emerge --info. beside that, does the problem even still exist? /usr/bin/vsound has correct paths here, i can't reproduce it. 

please reopen with the needed information

[Comment 7 Robin Wood 2006-03-25 16:38:10 UTC]

Its still here. This is the exact error:


 vsound --timing realplay 20051005-ao.rm 
About to start the application. The output will not be available
until the application exits.
Warning: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/vsound/libvsound.so"
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/vsound/libvsound.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Missing file ./vsound13197.au.
This means that the libvsound wrapper did not work correctlty.
Here are some the possible reasons :
 - You are trying to record a stream (RTSP or PNM protocol) from 
   the internet. You will need to use the --timing option.
 - The program you are trying to run is setuid. You will need to 
   run vsound as root.
 - Vsound was not properly installed and hence won't work at all.

(Same error without the --timing as well)

Do you have the same problem with 64bit applications? it's quite logic that it can't work with 32bit binaries, but we can't help that other than adding it to emul-linux-x86-soundlibs.

[Comment 9 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-06-23 10:41:33 UTC]

apparently not
