[Qgis-developer] Run-time library error on Ubuntua Hardy 64bit system

[mccue at acm.caltech.edu]

I have this problem on a new Ubuntu Hardy 8.041 system.  qgis from the
repository  works (it is 0.11.0-Mettis) but the checkout verision does
not.  I downloaded it, ran  cmake with no errors, it compiled,  linked
and installed with no errors.  But when I tried to run it, I got

% /woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis
/woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis: error while loading shared
libraries: libgeos-3.0.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

I have 2.2.3 on my system, so I put in a  symbolic link to that (ln -s
libgeos.so.2.2.3 libgeos-3.0.0.so), and got

% /woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis
/woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis: error while loading shared
libraries: libgdal1.5.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

another symbolic link (ln -s libgdal1.4.0.so.1.11.4 libgdal1.5.0.so.1)
gave me

% /woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis
/woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/bin/qgis: symbol lookup error:
/woldlab/shrew/data1/mccue/apps/lib/libqgis_core.so.1.0: undefined symbol:
_ZN14QGraphicsScene11eventFilterEP7QObjectP6QEvent

which shows linking to different versions of the library than what you
actually  compiled against is a bad idea.  Now, a previous post in the
installation forum claimed:

  Hi,

  Maybe you've got a problem with the configure parameter GEOS_LIBRARY
  It sounds like i had the same compilation error when i putted this as the
  parameter :
  GEOS_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/
  Then, it worked well when I precised more than the path with the name of the
  lib :
  GEOS_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libgeos.so.2.2.3

but I  tried this and  it didn't get through the compilation.  What my
ccmake screen gives is the following:

GEOS_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libgeos_c.so

(this is generated  automatically  when  I configure), and  that  this
library does exist.

I  should  note that  I have a 32-bit Ubuntu Hardy machine at home and
have had no problem installing and compiling from scratch.  On this 32
bit Ubuntu Hardy system, I have the following:

GEOS_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libgeos.so

rather  than  libgeos_c.so as  on the 64-bit system.  When I  put this
library location that works on the 32 bit system on the 64 bit system,
I get the following errors.
