Inference Engine (openvino 2019.1.144) support for Ubuntu 18

[Hassan__Naufil]

Hi,

I am trying to run inference engine of openvino-2019 on Ubuntu 18 and getting this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "object_detection_demo_yolov3_v7.py", line 76, in <module>
    from openvino.inference_engine import IENetwork, IEPlugin
  File "/opt/intel/openvino_2019.1.144/python/python3.7/openvino/inference_engine/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .ie_api import *
ImportError: libpython3.7m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can you please suggest any possible solutions for this...

Thanks

Dear Hassan, Naufil

Ubuntu 18 is technically not supported by OpenVino. That said many people in the OpenVino community have gotten it working on Ubuntu 18. Please see a previous ubuntu 18 post which I answered recently.

That said, it seems like your issue is a simple one to resolve - don't forget to run setupvars.sh from the same shell where you run samples and demos.

ImportError: libpython3.7m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Clearly means that the sample is not finding Python3.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Shubha
