Description Kilian 2023-07-06 11:31:43 UTC

trying to run ipe results in the following error:

ipe: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run 'ipe' in a terminal

Actual Results:  
ipe crashes with the error 'ipe: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

Expected Results:  
ipe should start normally

It seems that I have libgsl.so.27 installed;

$ locate libgsl
/usr/lib64/libgsl.so
/usr/lib64/libgsl.so.27
/usr/lib64/libgsl.so.27.0.0
/usr/lib64/libgslcblas.so
/usr/lib64/libgslcblas.so.0
/usr/lib64/libgslcblas.so.0.0.0


adding a link /usr/lib64/libgsl.so.25 -> /usr/lib64/libgsl.so fixes the issue.

Comment 1 Mukundan Ragavan 2023-08-14 02:51:11 UTC

this is strange.

Ipe should only require libgsl.so.27. See requires section here - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=33078808

Was Ipe installed from fedora repositories?

Yes; 

dnf info ipe

Installed Packages
Name         : ipe
Version      : 7.2.26
Release      : 4.fc38
Architecture : x86_64
Size         : 2.2 M
Source       : ipe-7.2.26-4.fc38.src.rpm
Repository   : @System
From repo    : fedora
...

Checked today and I still require the link "/usr/lib64/libgsl.so.25 -> /usr/lib64/libgsl.so" to run ipe.
