Wrong library reference in a default install

[r2com]

I have built and installed ghdl in: /home/r2com/eda/install/ghdl/

Then I went back to the source ghdl folder and ran: pip install .

That did install the ghdl which I was able to run in command line.

However, when in Sublime I configured LSP to use it, I got error:

  File "/home/r2com/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyGHDL/libghdl/__init__.py", line 155, in _get_libghdl_path
    raise Exception(f"Cannot find libghdl {basename}")
Exception: Cannot find libghdl libghdl-3_0_0_dev.so

I know that this file is located after ghdl-ls install in: /home/r2com/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/

The init.py at line 155 tries to look in ../../lib folder for this file, but if executed from ghdl-ls location there is No such folder (although there is just necessary .so file)

So the way I fixed it, is just created a symbolic link "lib" which points to: /home/r2com/eda/install/ghdl/lib

The above folder is the install folder of ghdl, which has lib folder where necessary .so file located.

After that my ghdl-ls works OK in Sublime.

So... reason I posted this is to show you what exists, and whether there is more proper way to fix it? or did I miss some step during install?

Weird, I use a similar setup.

What is the output of ghdl --dispconfig ? And the output of ghdl-ls --disp-config ?

Here are the printouts:

So what is the issue ? Why is the library reference wrong ?
