AftershotPro v1.1.1.10 won't start on Debian Wheezy

[greescom]

Just installed the 64bit version of Aftershotpro on my Debian Wheezy system.

Installed with no problems but it fails to load with the following error:

/opt/AfterShotPro/bin/AfterShotPro: error while loading shared libraries: libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm a registered user & it used to work great on my old Ubuntu sytem a year or so ago when I last used it, not sure what the prob is & had a good google before coming here - anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

There is no 64bit version of AftershotPro v1 as far as I know... I assume you mean the 32bit version?

The libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 library is part of the AfterShotPro_i386.deb file and gets installed into /opt/AfterShotPro/lib/
See if the file is there. If not, try to remove and re-intall the .deb file and see if you get any errors on install.
If the file is already there, you might want to run ASP via strace to find out what's going on.


Hope this helps,

Yes, you're right there is only a 32bit version, I meant I installed the deb file packaged for 64bit systems (AfterShotPro_amd64.deb).

Thanks for the tips. I checked /opt/AfterShotPro/lib/ & the library was present. I then installed strace & ran ASP with it, man, it's a really cool debugging tool! Turns out ASP was looking everywhere except /opt/AfterShotPro/lib/ for it's library files & not finding them. So I system linked all the libs to one of the places it was looking:

sudo ln -s /opt/AfterShotPro/lib/* /usr/lib/

ASP now loaded & showed me the initial options screen but crashed at the GUI with:

Fatal: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40703) with this library (version 0x40802)

I'm hoping I can install an Qt 4.7.3 alongside my current version, i'll give it a try later on......

I bet you're one of those that totally overlooked /usr/bin/AfterShotPro which does all the appropriate Library setup.....

Why is it so hard to look in the standard place first or use the silly gui menus to start a gui application?

Thank You afx!

/usr/bin/AfterShotPro ran it perfectly straight away, You saved me a lot of time configuring it manually.

Oh, the reason it was "so hard" is because I run a tiling window manager (DWM) that doesn't have any gui menus and the ASP developers didn't follow the standard lowercase naming convention for usr/bin files so when I tried to auto-complete from the shell it couldn't find it (a != A). Hence I assumed it didn't have a link in there.

Oh well. it's working now
