WHIZARD

error while loading shared libraries

Asked by Silas Hardt

Hi,
I use Ubuntu and installed Whizard 3.1.2 as described in the manual.
The process finished without any error messages.

But, just trying to run "whizard --help" leads to the following error:

whizard: error while loading shared libraries: libwhizard_main.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there a way to fix this or do I need to make some changes during the installation?

Thanks in advance,
Silas

I don't understand how, but restarting my PC multiple times fixed the issue.

Hi Silas,
great to hear that you solved the issue. The error message that you have been seeing usually comes from the Whizard libraries
not being in the known LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the compiler. You might have had some setting with an export of that variable where this was not included, which was "fixed" by the reboot.
Cheers,
