Opera doesn't open because it doesn't find libffmpeg.so

Error returned:

/usr/lib/opera/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It appears that lib should be in /usr/lib/opera/. Is it not?

jasonwryan · 2016-03-17 01:41:35

pacman -Syyu

Moving to NC...

Yes, it's there and this files:

libEGL.so  libffmpeg.so  libfreetype.so.6  libGLESv2.so  libmalloc_wrapper.so  libmojo_public_test_support.so

And your mirror is up to date? What version of the opera package are we talking about?

i686 or x86_64? From what I can see, the 64 bit version is fine, but I haven't checked the 32 bit.

Oh, yeah, sorry. Is i686 arch. Checking in Arch opera package detatils I have current one.

Well the rpath on the 32 bit binary looks correct, but I'm not going to be able to actually test it.

I use 32-bit Opera and corrected the fault by creating a text file, as root, called /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ffmpeg.conf containing this one line

/usr/lib/opera/lib/

Then registered the library path with

#ldconfig

Opera now starts as expected

Scimmia · 2016-03-18 23:37:49

If that's required, something is not right with the rpath. I suggest filing a bug report.

zorro · 2016-03-20 11:17:21

I have reported the bug upstream.
