Thanks, I will now. However, note that /usr/local/lib wasn't in my ld path <br>
either until I did:<br>
<br>
$ echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr-local.conf && sudo <br>
ldconfig<br>
<br>
This matters because I started from a pristine Ubuntu 18.04 install, and I <br>
think the existing instructions worked on a computer that had already had <br>
some work on it.<br>
<br>
I'm keeping good notes; my current fork has an updated README with all the <br>
steps, including the correction under current discussion and the typo fix by <br>
Janis. Hopefully by the end of this process I'll have a PR with instructions <br>
that work from "scratch" from "just installed Ubuntu" levels of "scratch".<br>
<br>
So I now installed with --prefix=/usr/local/, and saw that the .so weren't <br>
there either:<br>
<br>
$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/libode.*<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18053722 Oct 7 21:49 /usr/local/lib/libode.a<br>
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 897 Oct 7 21:49 /usr/local/lib/<a href="http://libode.la" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">libode.la</a><br>
<br>
But then I remembered that some other instructions had an --enable-shared <br>
option, so I added it to the ODE compilation options, and...<br>
<br>
$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/libode.*<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17923328 Oct 7 21:53 /usr/local/lib/libode.a<br>
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 947 Oct 7 21:53 /usr/local/lib/<a href="http://libode.la" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">libode.la</a><br>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 7 21:53 /usr/local/lib/libode.so -> <br>
libode.so.8.0.0<br>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 7 21:53 /usr/local/lib/libode.so.8 -> <br>
libode.so.8.0.0<br>
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7845264 Oct 7 21:53 /usr/local/lib/libode.so.8.0.0<br>
<br>
And.... SUCCESS!!!<br>
<br>
Thanks for this. Looking forward to starting the tutorials.<br>
