Media SDK on Linux Ubuntu sample decoder error libmfx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

hi,

I'm trying to run sample_decode or sample_encoder on Linux Ubuntu 19.04 (the same problem happened on version 17 and 18)

I downloaded and compiled libva libva-utils media_drivers and gmmlib

then I Succesful compiled the msdk (Intel Media SDK)

but when I try to run the samples I get errors that libmfx can't be open although it is in the same directory

"sample_decode: error while loading shared libraries: libmfx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i inte
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz

any Idea what went wrong?

here s some prints:

Hi, I was able to overcome that issue, by adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/mediasdk/lib as explained in https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-media-sdk/topic/804296 

thank you
