Ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoraenc.so.1

ffmpeglibraries

When I want to run ffmpeg I get the following error:

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoraenc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is output of ls \usr\lib -l | grep libtheora:


-rw-r--r--  1 root   root    419238 Jan  5  2010 libtheora.a
-rw-r--r--  1 root   root       935 Jan  5  2010 libtheora.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root        19 Jan  5  2010 libtheora.so -> libtheora.so.0.3.10

-rw-r--r--  1 root   root       948 Jan  5  2010 libtheoradec.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root        21 Jan  5  2010 libtheoradec.so -> libtheoradec.so.1.1.4

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root        21 Jan  5  2010 libtheoraenc.so -> libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2

What should I do to solve the problem?

Edit: in line:

libtheoraenc.so -> libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2

I can't find libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 in /usr/lib(packages libtheora and libtheora-dev are installed)

output of locate libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 is:

/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1

/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2

But I can't find this files in /usr/lib!

Best Answer

I think I'd recommend a reinstall of libtheora0:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libtheora0

And since you have some non-unixey backslashes in your original question, let's be explicit about looking for the libraries:

ls -l /usr/lib/libtheoraenc*

Unable to launch Firefox: keeps on crashing

Although I am using Arch Linux and not CentOS, in case it helps, I encountered a similar issue with a recent upgrade of firefox (to 33.0.2). The problem looked like a simple case of dependencies that somehow did not get handled properly by the package manager.

The initial problem I encountered when I updated firefox and tried to start it was

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libicui18n.so.54: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I tracked down that libicui18n.so.54 is in the icu (International Components for Unicode library) package, so I updated that package. I then tried to start firefox and got

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
/usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.16.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.

So, I tracked down that libnss3.so is in the nss (Mozilla Network Security Services) package, so I updated that package too.

Then everything worked.

LibGLEW.so.1.11: cannot open shared object file

You need to instruct your system where to find dynamic libraries. System-wide directories like /usr/lib are in the default search path for dynamic libraries, but if you want to add custom directories, you need to declare them by listing them in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is a colon-separated list of directories, like PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mks/myGL/oglpg/lib

Put this line in your ~/.profile or wherever you define environment variables. You can also run it in a shell and it'll apply to all programs started from that shell.

Alternatively, when you build a program using the library, register its location on your system.

g++ -Wl,-rpath,/home/mks/myGL/oglpg/lib … -L /home/mks/myGL/oglpg/lib -lGLEW

The chapter on shared libraries in the Program Library Howto may be of additional help.
