Question

I installed Tarantool 1.7 on Ubuntu 16 as instructed https://tarantool.org/download.html The installation was successful, but when i run tarantool it fails with error:

tarantool: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.26-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Check 'binutils' has been installed, if not:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y binutils

Check version:

$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd*

if you see:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbfd-2.26.1-system.so

then you need:

$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ sudo ln -s libbfd-2.26.1-system.so libbfd-2.26-system.so
