vtk: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.5: cannot open shared object file: Error 40

Yes, sorry this is a known issue and easy to fix actually:

This should do it: (create a symbolic link from libhistory.so.6 to .so.5)
sudo ln -s /lib64/libhistory.so.6 /lib64/libhistory.so.5

thanks.

I think those two files but when running. / start_bioimagesuite continues to set those mistakes I attached the image in the terminal where I am creating libhistory.so.5 to so.6

thanks for help

Hi Mitchel,

It looks like a permission issue. In order to create the symbolic link in the library , you should use:
ln -fs file_name link_name

IN your case,

ln -fs libhistory.so.6  libhistory.so.5


Then you could check the file permission to make sure your application can access it.
Use :
ls -la

Try it and let us know.

My fault -- on ubuntu add sudo infront of the ln command. You need to do this as root.

cd /lib64
sudo ln -fs libhistory.so.6 libhistory.so.5

Hi, 

I ran into the same problem described here, however this solution does not work. This seems to be because I do not have either of the files libhistory.so.5 OR libhistory.so.6 on my machine. 

I installed bioimage suite on the latest NeruDebian virtual machine. Could it be that I need some earlier linux version to run BIS? 

Thanks, 
Edden

Sorry, we need to provide a new binary for the latest Linux boxes. Will do in the next couple of hours. There is an internal build, I will upload this to nitrc in the next couple of hours.

This is a 32-bit build for 3.2b1 that should work under the newest Linux releases. Please try and let me know.

Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 lts under a 64 bit machine. I tried to install BioimageSuite but experienced the same problem:
vtk: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Also there is no libhistory.so.6 or 5 in either folders lib, lib32 or lib64
I followed the different suggestions on the forum without much success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel

You probably need to install 32-bit support on Ubuntu, it is not there by default any more (I think). See http://stefaanlippens.net/32bit_executab...
