python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.4m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I have created a python virtual environment using virtualenv, after activating it, I can see where is Python installed in my shell as following:

Answer 1

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[your python path to libpython3.4m.so]

libpython3.4m.so is under your python source from which you built it.

Put it in your .bashrc to set it at login automatically.

I can't force virtualenv to 3.4 on my machine but you can see that under lib of your virtualenv there's just a bunch of symlink to your local python installation. I guess libpython3.4m.so is fetch by one of those.
