OpenZwave Error: libopenzwave.so.1.6: cannot open shared object file

Hello,

I'm trying to install Node-Red with Open-ZWave on an Ubuntu server but I seem to be running into a problem. This is likely because i'm not very experienced in Linux.

  • Ubuntu server 20.04 LTS
  • Node-Red version v1.3.4
  • Node.js version v12.22.1
  • node-red-contrib-openzwave 1.6.2
  • openzwave-shared 1.6.2

I have Node-Red and open-zwave installed. In the Node-Red palette manager I can install node-red-contrib-openzwave. However, I get a red triangle.
If I look in the log (node-red-log) i see an error:
[warn] [node-red-contrib-openzwave/zwave] Error: libopenzwave.so.1.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What I did, step-by-step
1. Virtualbox Virtual Box 6.1.22
2. Fresh install Ubuntu server 20.04 LTS
    a) including SSH server
    b) including mosquitto
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt upgrade
5. Install VboxGuestAdditions 6.1.22
    a) sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    b) sudo mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
    c) cd /cdrom
    d) sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
    e) sudo reboot
6. sudo apt install build-essential git
7. bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
8. sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
9. git clone https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave.git
10. cd open-zwave/
11. make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig
12. npm install openzwave-shared
13. In Node-Red
    a) Manage Palette
    b) Install OpenZwave contrib

Does anybody know how I can correct this?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Geuvert

How did you install libopenzwave and what does this command show?
apt policy libopenzwav*

[Edit] Just realised that you have told us how, but hidden it from immediate view.
Did you see the Notice 1 lower down the page in the open-zwave build instructions? That may be a clue as to what you have to do.

Hi Colin,

I cloned the openzwave files from git using
git clone https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave.git
Then changed directory
cd open-zwave/
Build and installed everything
make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig
Install openzwave-shared via npm
npm install openzwave-shared
And then in the palette manager in node-red I installed openzwave contrib

But reading your question, maybe I didn't install libopenzwave??

The output for apt policy libopenzwav*:

I did see this but I have not seen that specific error. If I run ld -lopenzwave --verbose, I can see that the SEARCH_DIR includes /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64.
Further down I can see that eventually it succeeds in opening everything.

ld -lopenzwave --verbose output
