rabin2 error: Library handler has failed for 'core_pdd.so'

[ghost]

Hi! I'm not sure whether I should create an issue or not, but I caught a problem. I wrote a StackOverflow post and happily forget about it. But a few days ago, it seems that someone caught it too. So, I guess, they need help.

I tried to run rabin2 (radare2 util) and got that error:

rabin2
# ERROR: Library handler has failed for '~/.local/share/radare2/plugins/core_pdd.so'

I've tried to google the error and got nothing: "Library handler has failed for" query with quotes and about 3 results, including radare2 source code.

This error is definitely thrown from here, but I can't figure out what exactly is wrong.

radare2 was installed according to author's instructions. So was r2dec. Also, I used export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.r2env/versions/radare2@git/bin" to make it work.

At a quick glance, pdd and r2dec work pretty fine when executed from r2 console.

Could you give me a clue how to fix that?

R2-5.8.5 is pretty old, please update. My assumption is that you have inpaired versions of libraries. You can run make purge in the r2 repo to remove all system installations of r2, so you can start clean from there

make purge
sys/install.sh
r2pm -ci r2dec
