Hello,

I am currently using Archlinux and I don't have the SDL2 library loaded into my system.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest Pharo 5 vm and image thanks to the zeroconf scripts.

When I tried to call "OSSDL2Driver hasPlugin" the return was "false" with the following message console :
ioLoadModule(.../pharo-vm/libSDL2DisplayPlugin.so):
libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The library itself (libSDL2-2.0.so.0) is located in the pharo-vm folder, however it seems that the vm is looking for it somewhere else because after copying the file in /usr/lib32/ the VM was able to find it correctly.

I was wondering : shouldn't the vm only rely on the SDL2 library inside pharo-vm folder ?

Thanks,

Matthieu

IIRC, you get the same error message if a library SDL2-2.0.so relies on cannot be found.

So, assuming the zeroconf has dealth with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the vm directory, I'd try readelf -d, and check that all (32-bit versions of) the libraries SDL needs are available.

Cheers,
Henry
