error when starting : cannot open shared object file

./sfz: error while loading shared libraries: libfmodex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory or ./sfz: error while loading shared libraries: libOgreMain.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

as superuser/root edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line with "/usr/local/lib" or where your libOgreMain*.so file is located and run /sbin/ldconfig afterwards. this adds a searchpath for .so (shared object) files to your system (at least on ubuntu and debian i think)

to find your .so file you can use something like "locate libfmodex.so"

my /etc/ld.so.conf currently looks like this :

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /usr/local/lib

undefined reference to Ogre::...

you probably have an old ogre version. the debian/ubuntu packet has version 1.2.*, we need at least 1.4.0 you could try to compile ogre from source to fix that. also you might have an old version installed alongside the new version.

undefined reference to ... in lugre_ode.cpp

you need to compile ode from source. the package doesnt work. solution : "scons configure" and then "scons" again

something similar to "lua not found"

you need lua 5.0, the newer version 5.1 will not work and is not backwards compatible, sorry.
