running nextcloud on ubuntu 16.04 fails

[Corvan]

Hey,

I managed building nextcloud, but after make and make install running /usr/local/bin/nextcloud fails

this is my make install output:

and this is the output calling /usr/local/bin/nextcloud

/usr/local/bin/nextcloud
/usr/local/bin/nextcloud: error while loading shared libraries: libnextcloudsync.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

additionally the desktopfile in /usr/local/share/applications does not bring nextcloud to the unity dashboard it has to be in /usr/share/applications

[Corvan]

I got it working with creating symlinks, but that's not the way it should be

[mzehrer]

You can add a configuration to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/... that includes the path /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

[rullzer]

As @mzehrer said. Probabaly your distro doesn't allow (by default) to load libs from /usr/local/..

[Corvan]

No that is not the problem, the Problem is that the libs are installed into /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu but the client expects them to be in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nextcloud

[pasbec]

For me, changing CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR to /usr instead of the default /usr/local worked just fine

[elpraga]

... or just copy / link the libs to /usr/lib

[enoch85]

Is this still an issue? Otherwise please close. Thanks!

[elpraga]

I just upgraded to the last version using PPA (I don't see any additional version number apart from 2.3.1) and the issue still persist. (Even though it seemed to have been fixed before this today's update).

Cannot close. Still persist.

[ivaradi]

I have the client installed from the PPA, and while the library is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and the client first looks for it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nextcloud/, when it fails, it looks for the library in the previously mentioned directory. See the strace output:

8539 open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nextcloud/libnextcloudsync.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
8539 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
8539 open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnextcloudsync.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
8539 read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\3201\4\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832
8539 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1224736, ...}) = 0
8539 mmap(NULL, 3320448, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f749c8dc000

And it does so with all the other libraries. So I think it must be some local configuration problem. Which distribution do you use?

[elpraga]

I'm currently using Ubuntu 17.04, upgraded from 16.04; I was able to find the exact version of the client I have installed, it is 2.3.1-20170510.104358~zesty1. Please note, I have never had any kind of ownCloud software installed on this machine.

Could the problem be that there is some string forgotten to be translated (or changed to Nextcloud instead of ownCloud)? Possibly something related to the notification server?

[enoch85]

I run nextcloud-client (2.3.1-20170510.175459~zesty1 on Ubuntu 17.04 Budgie without any issues at all.

[enoch85]

This issue has been inactive for some time now.

Is this issue related to the ownCloud client, (thus not an theming isssue) please close it and report the issue here instead.
Is this issue related to this repo but solved, please close it and if possible let us know what solved the issue.
Is this issue still not solved, please let us know as well.

If I don't hear anything from the one who created this issue within 2 weeks, I will close the issue.

[enoch85]

Closing since it was over 2 weeks since anyone responded. Please reopen if this issue still persists. Thanks!
