kat: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object fille: No such file or directory
This is the second time I've come across this issue. First was on WSL after installing Finesse
from anaconda. I've installed every libgsl package they had and none of them seem to have it. What I ended up doing was creating a libgsl.so.0
a symbolic link to libgsl.so
. To my surprise it worked and I could run basic kat scripts. I didn't try any of the kat features that actually use libgsl (e.g. optimizations) so I have no idea how good of a hack this is. I originally just chalked this up to being a quirk of WSL and decided to ignore it.
Now today I've just reinstalled anaconda on my pure Ubuntu lab computer, which included redownloading Finesse
. And the exact same error of missing libgsl.so.0
popped up. And once again the fix was
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.0
The only thing the two setups have in common is that they are both Ubuntu.
I will also add that I am pretty sure the lab computer was running the anaconda Finesse just fine from about a year ago. Maybe something recently was changed to cause this.
