libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I have trying to run python script from the terminal but getting the next error message :

ImportError: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

if I run print sys.version I get :

>>> import sys >>> print sys.version 2.7.3 (default, Feb 26 2013, 16:27:39) [GCC 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)] 

and if I run ldd /usr/local/bin/python

>> ldd /usr/local/bin/python         linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff219ff000)         libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003300c00000)         libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003300800000)         libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x0000003310e00000)         libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003300000000)         libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003300400000)         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000032ffc00000) 

I don't understand which python do I have ? why running this python script from the terminal is failing ? I have tried to run

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/ 

with no luck...

BTW - I have managed to debug this script in eclipse with the python plug-in, and when I look at the debug configuration I see that the PYTHONPATH is set for :

/..../eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev_3.1.0.201312121632/pysrc/pydev_sitecustomize:/..../workspace/style_checker/src:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.2.1-py2.7.egg:/usr/local/lib/python2.7:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages 

so eclipse manage somehow to find this python2.7 libs... so how can I do it with out eclipse and from the command line ? what am I doing wrong ? using CentOS6.

Answer 1

Try to find file libpython2.7.so.1.0:

locate libpython2.7.so.1.0

In my case, it show out put:

/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so.1.0

Then paste line /opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib64 to file /etc/ld.so.conf

And run ldconfig. It solved my problem. Goodluck!

For some reason these two have worked perfectly for me:

apt-get install libpython2.7 sudo apt-get install libatlas3-base 

I found them here and here
