[SOLVED] Problem with import SofaCaribou

[Alexandre]

I’ve compiled Sofa v.21.06 from sources with SofaPython3 and Caribou using all the steps described in https://caribou.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Building.html and when importing the packages in python I get: (I’m on Ubuntu 20.04 with gcc-9)

>>> import Sofa
>>> import SofaRuntime
>>> import Caribou
>>> import SofaCaribou
[ERROR]   [SofaRuntime] ImportError: libSofaBaseLinearSolver.so.21.06.03: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/username/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/SofaCaribou/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from .SofaCaribou import *

Hey @ateixeira

Following caribou documentation, let SOFA_ROOT be the env variable pointing to your SOFA build installation path (usually $SOFA_BUILD/install).

Can you try adding the following additional environment path before starting python:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SOFA_ROOT/lib
python
>>> import Sofa
>>> import SofaRuntime
>>> import Caribou
>>> import SofaCaribou

I think the documentation is a bit outdated since this was not required before. Let me know if it work, I will update the doc.
