Copy link

Kept getting an error when trying to run:

systemctl restart guacd

Found this answer here

If the system is reporting that libguac.so.12 cannot be found, yet it exists in /usr/local/lib, then either ldconfig was not run (and thus the system linker cache has not been updated) or the system linker is not configured to search /usr/local/lib (and thus running ldconfig did not update the system linker with respect to the new libraries). Please be sure to:

  1. Run ldconfig as root
  2. Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf (or to a new file within /etc/ld.so.conf.d) if it is not already searched by the system linker by default (and then rerun ldconfig)
  3. Uninstall whatever package provides /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libguac.so.5. An older version of Guacamole installed from your distribution's packages will not be compatible with the version you're trying to build, and will likely conflict.

Thanks for this gist!
