Fixing ScanaStudio error while loading shared libraries: libftd2xx.so: cannot open shared object file on Ubuntu
Problem:
You want to start IkaLogic ScanaStudio, but you see the following error message:
./ScanaStudio: error while loading shared libraries: libftd2xx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution
You need to download the D2XX drivers from the FTDI D2XX drivers page.
Look for your architecture in the columns (usually x64 (64 bit)
, this is the same as x86_64
) and click the link in the Linux
row.
This will download a file named something like libftd2xx-x86_64-1.4.8.gz
.
Now you can extract the archive using
tar xvf libftd2xx-*
Now we can copy the shared object file to the IkaLogic ScanaStudio directory:
cp release/build/libftd2xx.so.* ~/Ikalogic/ScanaStudio/libftd2xx.so
Now you can start ScanaStudio:
cd ~/Ikalogic/ScanaStudio
./ScanaStudio
