How to properly log/trace a missing lib?

[Wooty-B]

I am trying to run a program, rpcs3 for example, and I am getting the following error:

Error loading needed lib libevdev.so.2

The first thing I have done is make sure arm64 library is installed, then amd64 library. Even when copying one or the other into the running directory, I still get the error above.

I've tried running BOX86_LOG=3 ./rpcs3 and BOX86_TRACE=1 ./rpcs3, however I'm not getting any different output or log files generated. Running an strace isn't giving me entirely what I need either, although I'm new to that. What is the proper way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks!

You have to install armhf libraries for box86 wrapped ones and i386 ones for emulating them

@Jai-JAP I had foolishly extracted just the shortcuts into their respective folders at /lib/{arch}-linux-gnu. Once I copied the linked AND actual file containing information, the app ran... Thanks for making me focus there!

I'm still looking for the former however, so I can have a clearer understanding of similar and other issues in the future. Not sure if I built with "Release" or "RelWithDebInfo" flags on compile, but will test that this evening.

EDIT: Maybe the title of this post should've dropped the "missing lib" part??
