linux VST

[msepsis]

I’m having trouble getting the linux VST to open in bitwig 64 bit in ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.

I’ve tried the last several linux builds, placed the .so into usr/lib/lxvst chmod 777’d the .so files, no dice. before i continue chasing down the rabbit hole – the .so works as a linux VST, correct?

The latest binary was indeed not working, don’t know why will have to check it out. I just updated the linux build to a new one, please try it.

[msepsis]

Checking this out now.. thanks atom – been in the desert on a get away vacation for a while – just getting back 🙂

nope, no love. At least not in bitwig – I reported this issue to their forum a while back when running the previous version 1.0.10 (just upated to 1.0.11)

From the report in terminal it seemed like an issue where bitwig was trying to run the 64 bit plugin within a 32 bit pluginhost. According to bitwig – it is but only after the plugin fails within the 64 bit plugin host.

Previously it was failing in the 64bit host w/ an “undefined symbol error”

I’ll check this out, i never knew a program like that existed.

[atom]

Scratch that i will not test this, bitwig is expensive as hell 🙂 i’ll try some other linux based hosts.

[msepsis]

Ok. I tried ardour, renoise and lms, no love.

I tried the Juce Plugin Host and it worked, i’ll try some others i can find tomorrow at work.

[msepsis]

Is the Juce plugin host loading the linux plugin as a linuxVST, DSSI, LV2? Which is the Ctrlr VST.so supposed to loaded as? incidentally on the same ubuntu 14.04 x64 linux partition I’m not able to launch the stand-alone from the 5.2.75 package. I’m getting “error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22-system.so: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory”

This is a relatively fresh 14.04 install with nothing else but bitwig, Jack, JackRack, LV2 rack, Ardour and LMMS installed… I’ll give ubuntu studio 14.04 x64 a spin . . .

Well if you are missing some .SO libraries you need them, in this case it’s the binutils-dev package i think.

[atom]

it’s a VST plugin, not LADSPA not DSSI only VST.

Thats what I thought also – both binutils and binutils-dev are installed … Still getting error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
on both the regular ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu studio 14.04 partition.

You might have the .so file but with a different version, do

# find /usr -name “libbfd*.so”

and see what files you have.

[msepsis]

I’m getting this same thing on regular ubuntu 14.04, screenshot is from ubuntu studio.
Synaptic seems to infer I have libbfd 2.24
A find with the syntax you supplied seems to not be able to find libbfd installed, (although not pictured, even w/o the /usr location specification.)

As you can see I have binutils-dev and binutils-multiarch-dev installed.

You can try fooling the OS and symlink your existing library:

Hi,
.
I have the same problem with Kxstudio, based on ubuntu 14.04.

./Ctrlr-x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so is installed and the symlink is OK :

locate libbfd-2.22-system.so
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.22-system.so

Can you paste the output of the command
# file /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so
and
# file Ctrlr-x86_64

?

[pierrotlo]

$ file /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so: ELF 64-bit LSB  shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=ba0d3f30012734d9c30b1f7df1b7694a299da337, stripped

$ file Ctrlr-x86_64 
Ctrlr-x86_64: ELF 64-bit LSB  executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=811dd2a9ddfac5ba513031820ea85b9a4066a34e, stripped

[atom]

Then i don’t know what’s wrong.

You can try
# ldd Ctrlr-x86_64 to see the full path of all libraries linked to Ctrlr

run
# ldconfig

to update the linker cache

if they’re there and you get the error message then the linker is not seeing the libraries in those directories. Either you have a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some weird settings in /etc/ld.so.conf*

otherwise i have no idea what could be wrong

[pierrotlo]

Hi,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty
I have three folders
/usr/lib wich contain the libbfd-2.24-system.so and the symlink libbfd-2.22-system.so
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib32

OK I did make this :

chmod 777 libbfd-2.24-system.so
rm -f the symlink libbfd-2.22-system.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.22-system.so

If I run Ctrlr in a terminal, now the result is :
