Linux: resolve won't launch because it can't find a shared l

ibrary that i definitely have.

Code: Select all

spyndling@pop-os:/opt/resolve$ '/opt/resolve/bin/resolve'
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: error while loading shared libraries: libopencv_highgui.so.409: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

spyndling@pop-os:/opt/resolve$ sudo apt install libopencv-highgui4.5d

so what the hell am i missing

give us all the details ? what linux what version resolve is it a clean instal etc. Is this your first try on linux.

This is not my first try on Linux, but the previous tries may or may not have happened before a system reinstall, I really don't remember. I didn't get far with them either and I have no idea what I did re: troubleshooting. It's a clean install in that the installer didn't come up with an "uninstall or reinstall" choice box, but there might have been miscellaneous files floating around somewhere

Pop OS 22.04
kernel 6.12.10 generic
nvidia rtx 2060 mobile with driver version 565.77
resolve version 19.1.4

Likely the problem is that you have the wrong version of the library.
Running the following command and look for not found messages:

Code: Select all

ldd /opt/resolve/bin/resolve


Resolve installs its own version in /opt/resolve/libs/libopencv_highgui.so.409
I suspect your system version (the wrong one) is being found before Resolve's version.

To show the Resolve library and symlinks, do

Code: Select all

ls -l  /opt/resolve/libs/libopencv_highgui*

Are you using libopencv_highgui for something? If not, as long as the Resolve libs are in the correct place, uninstalling libopencv-highgui4.5d should help.

the first command returns the following (in part):

Code: Select all

libopencv_highgui.so.409 => not found

now this DOES appear in the relevant directory

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx 1 spyndling spyndling      24 May  2 18:58 /opt/resolve/libs/libopencv_highgui.so -> libopencv_highgui.so.409
lrwxrwxrwx 1 spyndling spyndling      26 May  2 18:58 /opt/resolve/libs/libopencv_highgui.so.409 -> libopencv_highgui.so.4.9.0


except the ls -l text in the terminal is bright red for all the libraries Resolve failed to find. What do I do about this? Did it just fail to get them when I installed it?
