Songbird won't launch: libjemalloc.so, no such file or directory
Songbird won't launch: "error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I am running songbird 1.2 on ubuntu, jaunty, x86. After reinstalling the OS, I cannot get songbird to launch when it had on previous installs of the same. I extract the tar into ~/Applications/Songbird and attempt to launch from ~/Applications/Songbird/songbird-bin at which point I get the "error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error in the terminal. In the ~/Application/Songbird folder I see a copy of libjemalloc.so. I sudo chmod ugo+rwx ./libjemalloc.so, but the problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Inappropriate?Hey Jordan,
Are you launching from songbird-bin, or is that what the error states?
Because launching from songbird-bin doesn't start Songbird, the "songbird" file is what you launch from.
-
Inappropriate?I could solve this problem on my ubuntu Jaunty by doing:
sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins
Then you launch ./songbird in the songbird directory, and for me everything worked fine: you set up everything for Songbird
You can then:
sudo apt-get install libvisual-0.4-plugins
And now it works...
I’m sad I had to do such a strange thing to have Songbird working
-
No, in fact you can't reinstall libvisual(...) for Songbird to keep working... I hope it's not to bad to have it removed... -
Inappropriate?You can see at:

As a workaround you can delete libgst* from Songbird lib directory and let it
load only the system plugins.

Inappropriate?Running Karmic Koala, and none of the solutions work (Sebeto/Walter)
I’m tired of waiting for a flawless .deb-package

Forgot to tell, I'm running 64-bit Karmic
