cannot open shared library during execution

Question

I compiled my program as follows:

mpicc b_eff_io.c -o b_eff_io2 -I/scratch/irodero/papi/include -L/scratch/irodero/papi/src -lpapi -lm


 41125309    4 drwxr-xr-x  3 irodero users    4096 May  3 23:14 .

    41126365 1028 -rwxr-xr-x  1 irodero users 1046742 May  3 23:14 libpfm.so.3.9.0

However I got this error:

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

What should I do?

Answer 1

Maybe...

• the library is in use
• the permissions are incorrect
• it does not exist
• it's not in the library search path
