When I try to load the GData plugin in Configuration > Plugins > Load > gdata.so , I get the following error message:

libgdata.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,

I'm not a developer, just another user.

Is the lib installed?

Take a look with

$ ls -l /usr/lib*/libgdata.so

if it should be installed, try running

$ sudo ldconfig

if it's not installed, install it.

Regards,
Ralf

Also take a look at

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib*/libgdata.so

You have, no doubt, installed the plugin from a disto package rather than building it yourself. The package is missing a dependency. The package is where the bug is. You need to install the libgdata package.

My apologies, I forgot the asterisks at the end

$ ls -l /usr/lib*/libgdata.so* /usr/local/lib*/libgdata.so*

Yes, you were right. I installed it, and it work now.

Thanks! Sorry.
