ImportError: libta_lib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Question:
i’m trying to import talib, but I’m getting this error:
ImportError: libta_lib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I start python like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" python
import talib works.
How can I turn this solution into a fixed one?
Answers:
I had the same issue. See below for what I did to fix it.
installing
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
tar -xzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
Sudo make install
pip install numpy
If you don’t have it installed
pip install TA-Lib
if you do have it installed
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall TA-Lib
hope this helps someone 🙂
For me, following worked:
/usr/local/lib
- put above line to
/etc/ld.so.conf
- execute
sudo ldconfig.
add the foldername to ldconfig:
sudo -s
echo "include /usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
You may well find that ldconfig is already configured to search ‘/usr/local/lib’, and in this case, you only need to reload it, using sudo ldconfig.
(I would post this as a comment, but insufficient reputation.)
If you are arriving at this Stack Overflow question and you’re working with shared libraries that are being cross compiled for different platforms/architectures, consider that you might be trying to access a shared object that was compiled for another platform by mistake.
I was getting this error while building my own shared libraries on a darwin/arm64 system for a linux/amd64 docker container. After rebuilding my shared libraries while being careful to build for the right architecture, I no longer received the cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error and my shared library was accessible to my python application.
