14.04 Unable to install correct package

  • 772

I'm attempting to configure an oculus rift for this I need to execture ./OculusConfigUtil_i386

This gives me the following error: 

./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then doing 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libudev0:i386
sudo apt-get install libudev0

both eturned that the packagep(:i386) has no installation candidate.

This worked for me, but gave me the error: 

./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when trying to run the script again. any ideas?

Running:

ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | grep libudev

Gives this output: 

 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      34 jul 22 09:56 libudev.so.0 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 jun 20 02:15 libudev.so.1 -> libudev.so.1.3.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   67600 jun 20 02:16 libudev.so.1.3.5

    Use sudo apt-get install libudev1 if libudev.so.1 is not already installed then:

    sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

  2. I've downloaded the libudev0 package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/libudev0 and then install like this:
    sudo dpkg -i libudev0_175-0ubuntu9.10_amd64.deb.
    it works for me.

  3. In Ubuntu 14.04, you can do it this way:

    sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libcanberra-gtk0:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libgconf-2-4:i386 liborbit-2-0:i386 libusb-0.1-4:i386 libgnomevfs2-0:i386 libice6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libsm6:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxt6:i386 libasound2:i386 libgcrypt11:i386 libudev0:i386
