I installed Brackets on Lubuntu 13.04.
When I use the command brackets to open it, I get the error:
/usr/lib/brackets/Brackets: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
How can I get Brackets to work?
I found the solution in this Github issue.
You have to link the existing libudev.so.1 to the requested libudev.so.0; to do so, run the command
ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
NOTE: You might need to prefix this command with sudo to gain root privileges. In which case it would look like this:
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
What you can try is to link the installed files to the ones the program is looking for:
sudo apt-get install libudev1 && cd /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ && sudo ln -s libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0
Also, as peterflynn said
Note for anyone else encountering this (from #8553): a "libudev.so.0" error when installing Brackets on 64-bit Linux may indicate you downloaded a 32-bit version of Brackets by accident.
I agree with the solution
sudo ln -s <libudevpath>/libudev.so.1 <libudevpath>/libudev.so.0
However, if you just blindly assume to find libudev1 in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/, it might not be there. If libudev1 installs somewhere else, you can find it using:
sudo find / -name "libudev.so*"
I agree with the solution
sudo ln -s <libudevpath>/libudev.so.1 <libudevpath>/libudev.so.0
This creates a symbolic link between two files. Whenever an application looks for <libudevpath>/libudev.so.0 (which deosn't really exist), it will follow this link and use <libudevpath>/libudev.so.1 instead.
However, if you just blindly assume to find libudev1 in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, it might not be there. If libudev1 installs somewhere else, you can find it using:
sudo find / -name "libudev.so*"
