Are you running soft float Debian? or Raspbian?

If you are running soft float Debian then I don't think it'll work, I could be wrong though (I guess I could try it myself sometime)

Hopefully @linuxstb will know and reply to confirm :)

Do you have the Videocore libs in /opt/vc and is it set in /etc/ld.so.conf?

[francescosoft]

I'm running the actual raspbmc. In /etc/ld.so.conf i have
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
Is there a howto or something i can look at ?
Thanks.

On a new line in /etc/ld.so.conf add /opt/vc/lib then run ldconfig then run ldconfig -v you should then see something like this in the output:

/opt/vc/lib: libWFC.so -> libWFC.so libmmal_util.so -> libmmal_util.so libdebug_sym.so -> libdebug_sym.so libOpenVG.so -> libOpenVG.so libGLESv2.so -> libGLESv2.so libvchiq_arm.so -> libvchiq_arm.so libvcos.so -> libvcos.so libEGL.so -> libEGL.so libmmal_core.so -> libmmal_core.so libmmal.so -> libmmal.so libbcm_host.so -> libbcm_host.so libmmal_vc_client.so -> libmmal_vc_client.so libopenmaxil.so -> libopenmaxil.so
Make sure the folder /opt/vc/lib exists first though ( ls /opt/vc/lib )

I personally run a customised version of Raspbian (It's basically raspbian without the gui stuff)

Run apt-get install libraspberrypi-dev to fix this problem.
