Install libdwarf.so on Ubuntu

How can I install libdwarf.so on Ubuntu? I get this error while running an executable file.

error while loading shared libraries: libdwarf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.


So after too many hours finally it's been solved. It goes like this:

  1. Download libdwarf-20130207.tar.gz
  2. Extract the archive and in a new terminal type:

    cd dwarf-2013-02-07/libdwarf
    ./configure --enable-shared
    make -j$(nproc)
    
  3. If you need a 32 bit library (as in my case), just open the MakeFile and add -m32 to CFLAGS

    CFLAGS = -m32 $(PREINCS) -g -O2 $(INCLUDES) $(dwfpic) $(POSTINCS)
    
  4. At the end, just copy the libdwarf.so into /usr/lib


I suspect this wasn't true when the question was asked, but in 2018:

sudo apt-get install libelf-dev libdwarf-dev
