1. Shared library (e.g., liboski.so) not found: I compiled Example 1 but got the following error when I tried to run my program:

   ./example1: error while loading shared libraries: liboski-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
   

   What do I do?
   
   Answer: The run-time linker can't find the OSKI libraries. You can set the run-time environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the path to these libraries. For example, if ${OSKIDIR} is the path to your BeBOP-OSKI installation directory (INSTALL, Step 3):

     $  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OSKIDIR}/lib/oski:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH-.}
     $  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   

   if you are using a Bourne-compatible shell, or the following for C-shell:

     %  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "${OSKIDIR}/lib/oski:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
