I've been stumped for several days trying to resolve this run time error. I'm pretty new with Linux. No problem on Windows.


DerelictFI.load("/home/generic/MySharedLibraries/libfreeimage.so");


before DerelictFI.load
derelict.util.exception.SymbolLoadException@../../../.dub/packages/derelict-util-2.0.6/source/derelict/util/exception.d(35): Failed to load symbol FreeImage_JPEGTransform from shared library /home/generic/MySharedLibraries/libfreeimage.so
----------------

Here's what my shared library looks like. 3.17.0 should be the latest.


(dmd-2.071.0)generic@generic-ThinkCentre-M93p:~/MySharedLibraries$ ls -al libfreeimage*
-rw-r--r-- 1 generic generic 731208 Mar  9 02:54 libfreeimage-3.17.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 generic generic     17 Jul 22 21:11 libfreeimage.so -> libfreeimage.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 generic generic     22 Jul 22 21:11 libfreeimage.so.3 -> libfreeimage-3.17.0.so


Thanks.

Google showed me [1], so if you are on Fedora that's likely the issue. Regardless, if this is a function you aren't using, you can use Selective Symbol Loading [2] to ignore it. Otherwise, you'll have to build a custom FreeImage binary that includes it.
