Failed to load libseekcamera.so from default system paths

[emartin-216]

Hi,

I have struggled to run this code, and I believe I'm missing something from the installation instructions that is causing this but I am not sure what. When I try to run pip install -e ., I get permission errors. Could this be causing the code to not work?

Below is the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Documents/libseek-thermal-master/examples/seekcamera-python/seekcamera/_clib.py", line 107, in configure_dll
_cdll = ctypes.CDLL(lib)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/ctypes/init.py", line 356, in init
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libseekcamera.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It can't find libseekcamer.so

A quick and hacky way to get around this is setting the correct path in _clib.py.

If using the manual install it should be at the path

/usr/local/lib/libseekcamera.so

otherwise try:

whereis libseekcamera.so

Changing the lib variable in (line 97.) _clib.py (your location is "/home/pi/Documents/libseek-thermal-master/examples/seekcamera-python/seekcamera/_clib.py")
from:

lib = "libseekcamera.so"

to (or what ever path it is in):

lib = "/usr/local/lib/libseekcamera.so"
