error while loading shared libraries: libOpenEXR-3_3.so.32 (linux) #639

Description

@CarloCattano

on arch I've had issues before from having too recent updated libs. Now another blocker to the list

projectGenerator: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenEXR-3_3.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ls /usr/lib/libOpenEXR*
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so.33	      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so.33	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so.33.3.4.4  /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so.33
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so.33.3.4.4  /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore.so		      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so.33.3.4.4
/usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXR.so		      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil.so

pacman -Qs openexr
local/openexr 3.4.4-1
    A high dynamic-range image file format library

And there are probably more. I'm blocked from using of since a few months already if not a year...

    openframeworks/openFrameworks#8605 (merged) stops ofUtils pulling the renderer / ofImage / app / window code into tools that only use it, so the Linux projectGenerator no longer links FreeImage (-> OpenEXR), GStreamer, GLFW, GL, X11, OpenAL, libsndfile, mpg123 or curl.

    projectGenerator commandLine, Ubuntu 24.04 arm64, openFrameworks master before / after #8605:

    before after
    size 11.9 MB 1.5 MB
    shared libraries 22 6

    after: libpugixml, liburiparser, libstdc++, libgcc_s, libc, ld-linux

    The published Linux downloads pick this up from the next build (#684).
