Boost.python failed with libboost_python.so.1.41.0: cannot open shared object file

Question

Hi, I have already installed Boost.Python. There were no erros during instalation, but I have a problem. When I try to build my project ererything is OK, but when I run my wrapped project there is an error:

import wrraped_project
ImportError: libboost_python.so.1.41.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to copy the project to libboost_python.so.1.41.0 also the lib to the project etc. But every time I have the sme error.

Answer 1

Check if the boost library files are in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If that doesn't help, check if the filename is correct, and create a symlink if different.

Answer 2

Can you give us the relevant content of your /usr/lib directory? I'm assuming you're on Linux, right? And did you install Boost.Python with a package manager?
