I’ve recently just installed Avidemux 2.5.4 from a tar ball on to a Linux Mint Debian distribution. After the install, I tried to launch avidemux2_gtk and avidemux2_qt4 and was presented by:
./avidemux2_gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libADM_UIGtk.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and
./avidemux2_qt4: error while loading shared libraries: libADM_UIQT4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Long story short, I thought something was a busted. It seems that on Debian based systems (that’ll include Ubuntu varients) you’ll need to run
sudo ldconfig
to allow you to launch the application.
