libbfd-2.28-system.so missing

[muranyia]

libbfd-2.28-system.so is missing in Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial)

ctrlr builds fine but won't start.

Same on open-suse (using ./Ctrlr-x86_64-6.0.1.sh).

$ ./Ctrlr
./Ctrlr: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.28-system.so:
$ locate libbfd
/usr/lib64/libbfd-2.32.so

I have the same issue with this version here on antergos/arch.
it's always a version of libbfd that prevents Ctrlr standalone resp. the vst-plugin from working.

if anybody has an idea ...
thanks!

I just stumbled upon this thread about the same issue with Ctrlr 6.0.1: http://ctrlr.org/forums/users/arcangeli/replies/

right now I don't have time to figure out if it helps but the hints do seem helpful.

I did a sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.31.1-system.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.28-system.so to make the latest build work (that's Ctrlr-x86_64-6.0.1.sh).

@dromer yes, or you could use patchelf --replace-needed in order not to mess with your system. But then I get:

./Ctrlr: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./Ctrlr)

i'm linking to whatever the latest ubuntu provides, different distros might use different lib versions this is when you have to build ctrlr yourself, i'm considering using snap or some similar way to distribute ctrlr but i'm far away from it
