Vix API in python

Question

I need to import VIX api libs in ubuntu using ctypes module. When I do:

 vix = CDLL('libvix.so')

It fails: "cannot open..."

what´s the problem??? libvix.so and python module are in the same directory

thanks!!

Answer 1

If the rest of the error is something like

OSError: libvix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then you probably need to put the location of the libvix.so in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
