import pyvips throws exception for python 2.7 and 3.6 in AWS lambda (ZLIB_1.2.9 not found while loading libvips.so.42) about pyvips HOT 7 OPEN

I think docker would be fine since it manages all its libraries. In my case I'm running a Lambda function without docker. And the problem is that even though I provide all the necessary libraries in lib directory and set the environment path LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib. It seems Lambda in unable to load all the libraries from this lib directory. I've found a work around which is running another process with my correct configuration set for the library path and load pyvips in that process only. It seems to work. It is a work around and the down side is that you need to create another process and manage it. So it comes with all the regular downside of it. But for now it is working fine. I mainly posted it here for the community and the AWS team to look into. This is not a VIPS problem and I'll update here if I find anything better.

Hello, I'll have a go at a docker build on aws.

This seems to work:

Though I don't know if that'll help you much.

@munirhossain I am currently having the same problem. Did you manage to make it work? If not can you please explain your workaround?

@munirhossain I managed to made it work. Had some fun replacing some dependencies from your package and at some point it worked:
