Colab runtime not detecting shared library files appropriately

[s4ayub]

Describe the current behavior

• runtime does not detect location of shared library -> /usr/local/lib/libnvrtc.so.11.2 even though usr/local/lib/ was added to the sys.path
• this shared library does exist although the runtime is looking inside /usr/lib/ instead of /usr/local/lib/ (even though sys.path says to look in /usr/local/lib).
• !pip install torchrec-nightly
• python shell inside runtime does detect location of shared library Why does the top work but the bottom not work?
• nvcc --version: 11.1
• cudatoolkit: 11.3
• torchrec-nightly compiled against pytorch 11.3

Describe the expected behavior

• runtime should detect location of shared library as it is provided the location in sys.path
• this library can be found inside the

I fixed the error by copying all lib files from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib/

!cp /usr/local/lib/lib* /usr/lib/

Why is it necessary to do this? Is it possible to get the runtime to look for shared library objects in /usr/local/lib?

any updates on this?

You can download and have the file in your system , then you can use it elsewhere.

from google.colab import files files.download('/content/model.so')
