Solution 1

Use sudo apt-get install libudev1 if libudev.so.1 is not already installed then:

sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

Solution 2

I've downloaded the libudev0 package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/libudev0 and then install like this:
sudo dpkg -i libudev0_175-0ubuntu9.10_amd64.deb.
it works for me.

I'm attempting to configure an oculus rift for this I need to execture ./OculusConfigUtil_i386

This gives me the following error:
```
./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
then doing
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libudev0:i386
sudo apt-get install libudev0
```
both eturned that the packagep(:i386) has no installation candidate.

This worked for me, but gave me the error:
```
./OculusConfigUtil_i386: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
when trying to run the script again. any ideas?

Running:
```
ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | grep libudev
```
Gives this output:
```
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      34 jul 22 09:56 libudev.so.0 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 jun 20 02:15 libudev.so.1 -> libudev.so.1.3.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   67600 jun 20 02:16 libudev.so.1.3.5

  So you have installed libudev.so.1?

  I have installed libdconf1, sudo apt-get install libudev.so.1 also returns unable to locate package libudev.so.1

  locate is not updated instantly, run sudo updatedb to update it.

  Nope still the same problem sudo updatedb runs fine (no return value just runs) but all other installs still fail and so does the script

Well I have libdconf1 (in the linked question) but don't have libudev.so.1 which when I run sudo apt-get install libudev.so.1 returns E: Unable to locate package libudev.so.1 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libudev.so.1'

sudo apt-get install libudev1 is the command you need to run.

sudo apt-get install libudev1 returned 17 not upgraded and the rest unchanged sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 returned nothing and the script still doesn't run same error

Post the output of ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | grep libudev please.

Yes but the script isn't working so am I doing something wrong here? Is the script wrong?

Ah found it should have made sure the script was also in 64 bits not 32 bits thank you for your help
