SofaPython3 cannot be add to runSofa

[AliOkhovat0]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to use SOFA for soft body simulation(I'm using Debian12). I want to add the SofaPython3 plugin to SOFA but it says that it can't find some directories. the error is:
[ERROR] [PluginManager] Plugin loading failed (/home/stewie/SOFA/plugins/SofaPython3/lib/libSofaPython3.so): libpython3.10.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have seen that a similar topic was mentioned and the solution was checking dependencies. I have checked everything and I have all the necessary dependencies based on the SofaPython3 GitHub page.

Hello,

It says that it cannot find one dependency : libpython3.10.so.1.0. Are you sure it is installer and findable by your OS ? By findable I mean, is it present in a path that is known by your OS (e.g. /lib) and if not, is it specified in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable ?

A good way to see if all the actual dependency of the library are met (and this is the case for any library) is to run ldd libSofaPython3.so and see what dependency is not found. This doesn't mean it is not installed on your OS, it means that, in the current environment, your OS is unable to find it in its known places.

Tell me how it goes !

Thank you for your reply. I am using SOFA through my conda env and I have checked LD_LIBRARY_PATH and it was empty. what should I export to this environment variable?
I executed ldd libSofaPython3.so and this was the output:

Hi @AliOkhovat0

As you can notice, the libpython is not found : libpython3.10.so.1.0 => not found
You should set where your libpython3.10.so.1.0 is located in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
Check out this post : #5026 it might help
