What is LAI file?
The file in the LAI format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by GNU Project. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. GNU Libtool Temporary appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is GNU Libtool. This was created by GNU Project.
How to open LAI file?
An often recurring problem with GNU Libtool Temporary is that LAI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that LAI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LAI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install GNU Libtool
The first step is to check if the computer has the GNU Libtool program installed. This can be achieved by typing GNU Libtool into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LAI with GNU Libtool. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LAI files.
Programs to open LAI file
Remember to download programs supporting LAI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GNU Libtool with LAI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LAI file to open in the GNU Libtool application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LAI file with the GNU Libtool application.
Step 3. Update GNU Libtool to the latest version
If, however, after binding GNU Libtool with GNU Libtool Temporary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GNU Project page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LAI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LAI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LAI file. However, remember that not every infected LAI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LAI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LAI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use GNU Project help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LAI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LAI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LAI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
