Hi,
after installing Ubuntu 20.04 as a WSL, I get the follwoing error when trying to start a REPL:
/swift-5.9-RELEASE-ubuntu20.04/usr/bin/lldb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The Ubuntu 20.04 of WSL comes with python 3.10 by default, and has (probably, somewhere) a libpython3.10.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Or knows how to fix it?
I fixed it.
Apparently, on my Ubuntu installation, the shared libraries for Python are located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, where those files exist: libpython2.7.so.1 libpython2.7.so.1.0 libpython3.10.so.1 libpython3.10.so.1.0.
The 3.10 version seems to be the default version for my setup. It's also what apt-get install libpython-dev installs.
I then tried to use the 3.10 shared library as the 3.8 verion that lldb expects.
After trying different approaches (linking vs. copying, different target directories), it finnaly worked when I directly copied the library to /usr/lib.
Gotta be honest, it was kind of frustrating having to manually fix somthing what shouldn't need to be fixed to begin with.
I get that this is an external dependency, but it should work out of the box anyways.
