libhdf5.so

I am facing an error message-

SpinParser | install bin/SpinParser --debugLattice examples/square-Heisenberg.xml bin/SpinParser: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.103: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am using Linux lite.

It looks like your Linux is unable to dynamically link your HDF5 library when running the SpinParser executable. Usually, your Linux distribution should automatically set the correct search path to locate the library when installing the libhdf5-dev package, but that didn't seem to work on your system.

There are a couple of things you can try:

• Make sure that the HDF5 shared library actually exists on your system, i.e., try to locate the file with locate libhdf5.so.103
• If the file doesn't exist, you might need to install a package like libhdf5-103, which contains the shared HDF5 library files and should usually be automatically installed as a dependency of the libhdf5-dev package
• If the file exists, you can manually add it to the library search path by adding the containing directory to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/your/library/directory

I hope this helps!

Thank you, sir. It worked.
