/opt/BESClient/bin/BESClient: error while loading shared libraries

Usage and Config Platform

I have the Agent installed on a Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga), i386 and receiving the following when trying to start the agent:

/etc/init.d/BESClient-7.2.5.22 start

Starting BESClient: /opt/BESClient/bin/BESClient: error while loading shared libraries: libBEScrypto_1_0_0_1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

FAILED

Any ideas? I saw there was a similar issue for qna and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/BESClient/bin seems to have solved the issue but not in my case.

I’ve had some partial success at least getting the xqna to run by copying the .so library files over to /usr/lib. I tried linking them, but that didn’t work and it freaked out a little.

I still can’t get the client to start. I did notice a spot for logs in /var/log/BESClient, but it was bare. :frowning:

I was looking at the /etc/init.d/BESClient startup script and he mentions a coulpe other interesting places you may need to setup and touch:

/var/opt/BESClient should have a default config file you may need to copy (remove the default) and setup as needed

also, /etc/opt/BESClient needs to have a copy of your actionsite.axfm masthead file (that you copy from the server) ***make sure that’s all lowercase :slight_smile:

the startup script actually includes the LD_LIBRARY_PATH statement, so you don’t need to do that extra.

Getting the config and the actionsite masthead in place allowed me to start the client.
