When I try to launch my software, I get this error :

./debian/fw4spl/usr/bin/fwLauncher: error while loading shared libraries:
libfwCore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

And by using echo '/usr/lib/fw4spl' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fw4spl.conf , I
fixed this error...


Thanks for your help,
