I compiled my own libweston by hand, but when I try to run my compiled
Weston on a nested GNOME Wayland-on-Wayland session, I get the error
message "Failed to load module: /lib/libweston-3/wayland-backend.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory". Any ideas on why this
is happening?
