libiup.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[ivanceras]

I always get this error, when trying to run the examples
I followed the installation of iup for

3.13.0-53-generic #89-Ubuntu x86_64
libiup.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I know that when installing the iup library it transfer this file to that directory

'libiup.so’ -> ‘/usr/lib64/libiup.so’

and make sure it is there

/usr/lib64$ ls -la | grep libiup
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  826955 May 27 16:49 libiup.so

Luckily, I was able to solve it via

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libiup.so  /usr/lib/libiup.so

Hmm, I downloaded the 3.13 64-bit libraries on my Linux Mint laptop and installed them, but they went to /usr/lib. I don't even have /usr/lib64, but it is 64-bit.

That is strange, I think ubuntu is doing different from other linux distro
