libopencv_core.so.3.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I was trying to run an OpenCV-based code which was compiled using Cmake and make. I have OpenCV 3.4.7 installed, but I don't know why when running the executable, it picks on the version:

error while loading shared libraries: libopencv_core.so.3.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I see the followings are already in /usr/local/lib:

/usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.4.1.1
/usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so
/usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.3.4
/usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.4.1
/usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.3.4.7

How to solve this problem? Why it looks for only 3.1? Where does this number come from?!

I guess the version 3.1 is hardcode in your makefile or Cmake file.

This should help:

sudo ldconfig -v

It apparently comes from Caffe.so which I built from source. I don't see anything hardcoded. And i did the command... nothing changed on those shared libs.

btw, should I run sudo ldconfig -vbefore cmake/make of caffe?

Not sure but you may try some following step:

  1. when using the "ldconfig -v" , you may see something like:

    libopencv_core.so.3.0 -> libopencv_core.so.3.1

(not sure what would be in the left. just take an example)

  1. in your sample, you want "libopencv_core.so.3.4.7", not "libopencv_core.so.3.1"

  2. remove the symbolic link of libopencv_core.so.3.0 by

    unlink libopencv_core.so.3.0

  3. add the symbolic link by

    ln -s /usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.3.4.7 libopencv_core.so.3.0

  4. now type the "ldconfig -v " again to check the if the link is what you want.

  5. hope it would not crush your computer. I'm not familiar with this.

I actually have 3.4.7 installed, but the sample needs 3.1. Isn't it the reverse of what you said? One thing I did was to copy/rename 3.4.7 under the 3.1 name in usr/local/lib. Will it generally work?!
