error while loading sharelibraries libglew.so.1.7

[GameGeazer]

Hey, I had sfml working properly then out of the blue I started getting an error message in the SFML window. "error while loading shared libraries libGlew.so.1.7." the project builds, but the render window doesn't open. I've tried finding a libglew.so.1.7 file to manually link it but to  no avail.

I'm running Ubuntu and using sfml 2.0, thanks for your time.

Try reinstalling libglew from the official repository
Or, compile from sources 

On Unix, typing make install will attempt to install GLEW into /usr/include/GL and /usr/lib. You can customize the installation target via the GLEW_DEST environment variable if you do not have write access to these directories.

Well my guess is, that your OS updated to a newer GLEW version, but you're SFML still wants to use the 1.7 version (I think 1.9 is current), so it's better to recompile SFML rather than trying to get the outdated GLEW version.
