[cl-debian] Bug#367415: fails at package configuration stage: unable to find libecl.so

[René van Bevern]

Package: ecl
Version: 0.9h-20060322-1
Severity: important

Hello,

this is what I get on a fresh Sid system right after an "apt-get install ecl":

Richte ecl ein (0.9h-20060322-1) ...
/usr/lib/common-lisp/bin/ecl.sh loading and dumping clc.
/usr/lib/ecl/ecl-original: error while loading shared libraries: libecl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I noticed it while trying to build a backport of ecl. But I also get
that result trying installing the current package from unstable in an
unstable environment.

I have not looked further into it yet, sorry. I just remember it
worked a month ago or so. The following works:

------
rvb at marx:/usr/lib/ecl$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./ecl-original 
ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 0.9h

Type :h for Help.  Broken at EVAL.

So there doesn't seem to be a problem with loading the library in
general, it just isn't found.

Regards,
       René
