Tempo2 can't find plk_linux-gnu_plug.t2

[Parul Janagal]

I ran the following command on my terminal -

tempo2 -gr plk -f J0437.par J0437.tim

I get the following error -

Looking for /home/parul/Downloads/psrsoft/usr/share/tempo2/plugins//plk_linux-gnu_plug.t2
dlerror() = /home/parul/Downloads/psrsoft/usr/share/tempo2/plugins//plk_linux-gnu_plug.t2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[error]: dlopen() failed while resolving symbols.

I suspect that you did not compile the plk plugin for some reason. This will be either because you did not run “make plugins && make plugins-install” or some required library was not found - check the configure step for any messages.

I followed this tutorial to install tempo2 https://youtu.be/yAoQKeqvbQs and did not add anything else by myself. Will I need to run “make plugins && make plugins-install” separately?

[Parul Janagal]

Sir, I am still getting the same error. I tried to update the plugins using

./bin/psrsoft-shell tempo2-plugins

I have the same problem.Do you fix the error finally?

I would recommend to install directly from the repository rather than using psrsoft, as this version is very old.
