obconf fails on libobrender.so.1
So you’re going to show everyone how cool you are on the Linux box so Obconf is installed. Right click > terminal > typing obconf ** but you are greeted with the following error.
obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Fear not, just do the following in the term* of choice.
wget http://tr.openmonkey.com/files/obconf/obconf-1.6.tar.gz
tar -xzf ob*.gz
cd obconf-1.6
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../
rm obconf*.gz
It’s installed now – ‘obconf’ will now present you with a working program. This is being tested on Ubuntu Linux Edgy.

Hmm, I do use Edgy, but this doesn’t work.
