Can not run ttyd which was build from source

[alex-bender]

Hi! Thanks for the tool! I was thinking about something similar couple days ago and today I found it. But I have a problem.

System: Debian 8
Linux bender 4.9.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.13-1~bpo8+1 (2017-02-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've built libwebsockets and installed it into the system:

[...]
Linking C shared library lib/libwebsockets.so
[100%] Built target websockets_shared
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libwebsockets.pc
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libwebsockets_static.pc
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libwebsockets.a
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/libwebsockets.h
-- Installing: /usr/local/include/lws_config.h
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/lws-plugin-ssh.h
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libwebsockets.so.12

-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/lws_config.h
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/lws-plugin-ssh.h
[...]

Then I've built ttyd and it was ok:

[...]
[100%] Built target ttyd
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /usr/local/bin/ttyd
-- Removed runtime path from "/usr/local/bin/ttyd"
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/man/man1/ttyd.1
[...]

But when I run it I got error:
ttyd: error while loading shared libraries: libwebsockets.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please advice!

This should not be ttyd's issue, maybe /usr/local/lib is not in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
ldconfig

Run the above command and run ttyd again, if it works, you can put it to your bash profile.

Thanks for the fast reply!
It works!
