SOLVED: Maxwell ignores libXft shared object library#345426

Hi everyone,

Trying to run Maxwell on an Amazon cloud server.

On launching Maxwell in a 64 bit Linux sever I get:

error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but on running yum install I get:

Package libXft-2.1.13-4.1.6.amzn1.i686 already installed and latest version

How do I update my path to make sure that Maxwell knows that the library actually exists?

Many thanks
El

Got it sorted
launched well on Red Hat rather than Amazon Linux

<note: Difficulties encountered when trying to launch Xvfb on RHEL 6.1 so back to Amazon Linux, I think the problem was
installing a 32 bit version of the library on a 64bit platform that caused the initial error>
