C++ – error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

cgsl

I use gsl.
After I compiled my .cpp file and run it, I faced with below error:

error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found same as this problem in:

And I have done as in the above links wrote but the error is still remained.
Can anyone help me?

Best Answer

To make it work do the following steps

Start Borne Shell

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH= path to your gsl lib folder inside the gsl installation folder
$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

now run your executable

It should work fine.

In addition to the other answers, you can also set the DT_RPATH elf tag when linking your executable

-Wl,-rpath,/path/to/boost/libraries -L /path/to/boost/libraries -lboost_whatever

This way you don't have to remember to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH if the libraries are installed in a non-standard location.
