Libcamera.so.0.0.4: cannot open shared object file

[oave]

Hi

I have Motionplus installed on a raspberrypi 3B+ (bullseye). Installed via .deb (bullseye_motionplus_0.1.1-1_arm64.deb)
Since yesterday motionplus has stopped working, it stops before any log is saved.
What i have tried:
$ sudo service motionplus start $ sudo service motionplus status

I got:
motionplus.service - MotionPlus - Enhanced security camera monitoring software. Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motionplus.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2023-07-19 15:35:08 CEST; 3s ago Docs: man:motionplus(1) Process: 5220 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/motionplus (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 5221 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown motion:adm /var/log/motionplus (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 5222 ExecStart=/usr/bin/motionplus (code=exited, status=127) Main PID: 5222 (code=exited, status=127) CPU: 55ms

if I try:
$ libcamerify motionplus

I got
motionplus: error while loading shared libraries: libcamera.so.0.0.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Indeed libcamera.so.0.0.4 does not exist, instead I found libcamera.so.0.0.5. As it was working perfectly last week I guess that libcamera got updated and replace libcamera.so.0.0.4 by libcamera.so.0.0.5.

I thought that creating symbolic links could solve the problem but it doesn't. It bypass the "not such file or directory" issue but Motionplus still does not run correctly.

Not sure if 'Me too's are allowed on Github but me too! Any helpful suggestions?

You'll need to rebuild Motionplus from source due to the change upstream on libcamera.

OK, thanks Mr-Dave!

From the associated issue from @rhk:

Bumped into the same on Raspberry, first time trying Motionplus (have been using motion for quite some years)
rhk@mycabin:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye

Installed pi_bullseye_motionplus_0.1.1-1_armhf.deb from website.

rhk@mycabin:~ $ motionplus
motionplus: error while loading shared libraries: libcamera.so.0.0.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(didn't now know how to check libcamera version)

Could someone elaborate, what should a 'normal' user do? Wait for a new build of motionplus to appear on the website or wait for motionplus to be packaged for debian/raspbian - and use motion while waiting?

Building your own deb from source is the option right now as described here.

EDIT 2023/08/17: Updated deb files are now on the releases page.
