Engine libaio not loadable

Question

I have installed both libaio1 and libaio-dev packages on my Ubnutu 14.04, but after installation of "fio". Now when I want to use ioengine=libaio option of fio, I encounter with the error shown below:

fio: engine libaio not loadable

Any idea how to solve the problem without unistalling fio.

Thanks in advance
