Can't run when installed in /usr/bin but "./" does work

[notthewave]

I'm trying to package harvid and xjadeo for void-linux and it seems like Ardour can't start xjadeo. When running standalone it reports:

Could not open video output.
Could not open display.

However, when executed with ./ it pops up no problem. Any Idea what could cause this?
I first suspected this to be a Problem with Wayland, however I get the same output with X (dwm).

here is the PR for both harvid and xjadeo:
void-linux/void-packages#33586

I have no explanation what could cause this. I have not experienced this before.

Ardour uses vfork() to launch xjadeo (really xjremote) as child process. That will have the same environment as the parent process and hence should just connect to the same x-window server as Ardour itself.

For a 2nd opinion: Does it work when you use the binary from https://nightly.ardour.org/ (demo is fine, installs to /opt and comes with an uninstaller)?

Probably related to the musl libc. Glibc apparently works fine. But why doesn't the static binary work either?

didn't work

!!! ERROR !!! - Missing library detected!
This system does not have the correct libs to run Ardour.
Installation will not complete. Please use a compatible distro.

there are only 2 possibilities:

• I have a misconfigured system
• musl causes the problem (since it seems to work on glibc)

alright it works! just had it installed in /usr/local/bin before and didn't notice. Thanks for the help!
