Could not load liboqs shared library in fedora 36

[evil-user]

@vsoftco @dstebila @baentsch I followed the instructions in liboqs python wrapper to install as a shared library (make -GNinja -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..). Then I cloned liboqs-python and setup a venv called test inside. I then installed setup.py. I then tried to run the kem example with python3 examples/kem.py but the code breaks because it could not load the liboqs library. I have tried multiple variants of liboqs shared library command but I have not gotten any of them to work. Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?

i am using fedora 36 with openssl-devel package instead of libssl-dev , everything compiles really well and checked env and followed all precaution measures in issue #28

i am having openssl 3.0.3 and python3 setup.py gives warnings :-

zipsafe flag not set analyzing contents.

To better understand your issue, could you please provide output of these commands on your installation:

ls $PYTHONPATH
ls $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ldd $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/liboqs.so

@baentsch output of above commands: -

ls $PYTHONPATH displays contents of liboqs-python folder and additionally build , dist , liboqs-python.egg-info folders

ls $LD_LIBRARY_PATH displays ls: cannot access ':/usr/local/lib': no such file or directory

ldd $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/liboqs.so displays ldd: :/usr/local/lib/liboqs.so': no such file or directory

[baentsch]

Well, then you have the answer to your question: You did not install liboqs, i.e., did not run ninja install as per https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs-python#pre-requisites.

Alternatively, find the location of liboqs.so on your machine and point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that directory.
