libcurl-impersonate-ff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After building and installing the package, when i try to run the command, it raises error

/usr/local/bin/curl-impersonate-ff: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-impersonate-ff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You are right, it seems like Ubuntu is not looking for libraries in /usr/local/lib where the library is installed by default. For some reason in the automatic tests it does work. I'll look into the correct way of fixing this, in the meantime please try adding /usr/local/lib to your library path (see here for example https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67781/use-shared-libraries-in-usr-local-lib), or run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib curl_ff98 ...

Another option is to compile statically with ./configure --enable-static

Thanks for your reactivity ! I got the same error few minutes ago

Please try and run sudo ldconfig after doing make install, it should refresh the linker's cache which should then be able to find libcurl-impersonate in /usr/local/lib. The INSTALL.md file was updated accordingly. If the issue persists please re-open.
