[HTCondor-users] Installing Condor 8.5.2 from tar; user error or install script bug

[Budric Bundy <budric@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

On Ubuntu server after installing, when trying to run condor_master I get the following error: ./condor_master: error while loading shared libraries: libclassad.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems after the install the symbolic links in the install-prefix/lib/libclassad.so are invalid. I repointed the links to install-prefix/lib/libclassad.so.8.5.2 manually and the process starts.

My install procedure from /tmp/condor directory was:

tar -xvf condor-8.5.2-x86_64_Ubuntu14-stripped.tar.gz
cd condor-8.5.2-x86_64_Ubuntu14-stripped
sudo useradd --create-home --home-dir=/home/condor condor
sudo ./condor_install --install=. --install-dir=/opt/condor --local-dir=/opt/condor/local-dir --type=manager

I was following the documentation, but if I made a mistake I apologize.

Thanks.
