I am not the most linux savvy person out there, so maybe this is a relatively easy thing to fix. I noticed someone had this same problem (was posted in the other section) and no one was able to help.

I think your problem is it can’t find libprotocols.so because it is not in the shared library path.

I solved this by adding to my .bashrc file:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/data/home/apps/rosetta3/rosetta3_source/build/src/release/linux/2.6/64/x86/gcc

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

of course you would have to change the path /data/home/apps/rosetta3/rosetta3_source/ to where you have installed rosetta on your system.
