I wish I could suggest something further here, but am largely stumped.

Could you send me the contents of your /etc/init.d/zm file? (I want to double check). Also, could you try running zmfix from the command line rather than the init script?

I had the same problem.

You can run:

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r /opt/lib/* /usr/lib/

Once i did that it started working for me.

I'd rather link them than copy them. But yes, that should work too.

(I'd still like to know why LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't being picked up though . . . )
