Unbound startup problems - missing /var/lib/unbound/root.key

[Malzmeier]

Hi,

I followed your guide to setup unbound + Redis.

After trying to start unbound is missing the /var/lib/unbound/root.key
Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] error: unable to open /var/lib/unbound/root.key for reading: No such file or directory Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] error: error reading auto-trust-anchor-file: /var/lib/unbound/root.key Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] error: validator: error in trustanchors config Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] error: validator: could not apply configuration settings. Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] error: module init for module validator failed Apr 24 11:46:06 dns unbound[14365]: [14365:0] fatal error: failed to setup modules

I tried to use unbound-anchor but it also fails.
unbound-anchor: error while loading shared libraries: libunbound.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only difference to your guide is that I'm on an x86 machine and removed the --build=aarch64-linux-gnu flag on configure.

Any suggestions?

[Malzmeier]

My fault.
Forgot to remove --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu on configure.

Now after unbound-anchor -a /var/lib/unbound/root.key it works :-)

@Malzmeier thank you for pointing this out, was trying to install in on x64 architecture, and had the same problem.

for future reference, this is working for x86_64
