[xiphos-users] [sword-devel] Xiphos 4.5.0

[Chuck Hast]

My bad... Not sure what I was thinking (well yes I was, I installed
mini-split in the server/production
room at church last night (saturday night) and was thinking "will it be
working this a.m.?" Anyhow
When i invoked it properly I got this:
kp4djt at FW16-kp4djt:~$ xiphos
xiphos: error while loading shared libraries: libbiblesync.so.1.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
kp4djt at FW16-kp4djt:~$
