[1.8RC1]: Unable to load library icui18n

[georg.viehoever]

Code: [Select]

On Fedora17 when starting (we already saw this is one of the earlier versions):
[
code]$ PixInsight.sh
Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

PI nevertheless works...

But not optimally. You should install libicu on your distribution. On Fedora (and other RPM-based distros):

$ su -c 'yum install libicu'

[georg.viehoever]

In my opinion you should package libicu with PI to be sure that you get the exact version that you would like to see. Also PI should work on standard installs of the supported Linux distros without requiring additional installs.

When I try to install libicu on Fedora17, I get this:

Code: [Select]

$ su -c 'yum install libicu'
su -c 'yum install libicu'

Package libicu-4.8.1.1-4.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to doChecking with "ls" shows it is actually there:

Code: [Select]

$ ls /usr/lib64/libicui18*
/usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.48  /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.48.1.1
So apparently the lib is there, put PI does not pick it up (presumably it is looking for some other version).
