unable to run plugin

Post by mark_l »

I've got linux 16.10 and xplane 11.25

after putting the plugin in the plugin folder and starting xplane, the pilotedge plugin does not appear in the dropdown list

this appears in the xplane log.txt:


dlerror:libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dlerror:/home/mark/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/PilotEdge/lin.xpl: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Answered via tech support, but will answer here in case others might have the issue.

Your system is missing a required library (libpng12). Google that term and you'll see many links for where to obtain the library.

The second error can be ignored...that's xplane attempting to load the a version of the plugin from a legacy location having failed to load it from the preferred 64-bit location. The version that it's finding in the legacy location is the 32-bit version of the plugin, hence the error message. Fixing the first error will allow the 64-bit plugin to load, after which it won't attempt to load from the legacy location at all.

Hello PilotEdge support,

I ran into the same problem. The libpng library has been installed, but the version is different.
Error :

Code: Select all

dlerror:libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dlerror:/home/nima/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/PilotEdge/lin.xpl: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
The default libpng package which is shipped with Debian Buster is libpng16.
OS: Debian Buster
Xplane : 11.32r2
PilotEdge plugin version: the latest available zip file on site ( 1 March 2019 ).


Can you please advise how we can resolve this issue ? or we should wait until new version of PilotEdge ?

I managed to resolve the issue. Finally I had to install the libpng12 manually and now the pilotedge is available in plugin list drop-down.

For reference, I installed the package from below link.
