HP LTFS Linear Tape File System v1.1.0 release notes (EH957-90933, April 2011)

6. On some systems, trying to execute the ltfs command may result in an error message of the

form libltfs.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

directory.

To resolve this, it is necessary to tell the linker/loader how to locate the required dynamic library

files. There are several ways of doing this:

a. Add /usr/local/lib/ to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH

b. Or

(As root) Add /usr/local/lib/ to the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and then execute /sbin/

ldconfig.

Refer to the man pages for ld.so and ldconfig for further details.

7. Refer to the README.txt file for details of how to use LTFS.
