sndfile not found on os x about python-soundfile HOT 12 CLOSED

install this
sudo apt-get install libsndfile1

Did you use homebrew to install libsndfile?
Can you please show the contents of /usr/local/Cellar/libsndfile/1.0.25/lib/?

I don't know how this works on OSX, but on Linux, you can add additional search paths for libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf and afterwards run the command ldconfig as root (or with sudo).
Probably there is something similar for OSX?

Alternatively, as a quick work-around, you can try to copy (or symlink) the libsndfile.dylib to /usr/local/lib/, then it should be found automatically.

i did use homebrew.

$ ls /usr/local/Cellar/libsndfile/1.0.25/lib/
libsndfile.1.dylib  libsndfile.a        libsndfile.dylib    pkgconfig

i thought homebrew would take care of dynamic libraries in the path. i'll try it more explicitly.

from python-soundfile.

Yes, as far as I understand, homebrew should automatically create a symbolic link to libsndfile.dylib in /usr/local/lib/.
Can you please check if it's there?

from python-soundfile.

it's there. it might be one of those weird situations, where i might need to log out and log back in for brew's changes to have an effect.

I've seen a few weird issues with library names lately. Try renaming (or linking) the dylib to sndfile.dylib (no lib). I'm not sure if this changes anything, but it might be worth a shot.

Hey all - I had the same issue. Tried symlinking libsndfile.dylib from the homebrew directory to /usr/local/lib/ and it worked.

edit: kind of off topic, but thanks to the creators/maintainers for this package...really useful!

@satra and @choldgraf: did you try our latest 0.7.0 release?
Now we're shipping our own libsndfile.dylib, so the problem is hopefully gone!?!

from python-soundfile.

Is it on pip? I can unlink my own libsndfile and upgrade to see if that works if it'd be useful.

from python-soundfile.

Yes and yes, please!

from python-soundfile.

Just tried it. Unlinking the sound library breaks pysoundfile v.6, and upgrading to v.7 fixes the issue, so I think we're good on this issue!

from python-soundfile.

Great, thanks a lot!
I'm closing this ...
