Not able to run the mediator on mac

[lalc]

Tried to follow the instructions can ran it on mac (10.14.6 Mojave)

It gives this exception:

Lals MB: dotnet run
Unhandled exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'indy' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(libindy, 1): image not found

Try copying the libindy.dylib into your output folder, usually bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1 if you're running in Debug mode.

After I tried building the libindy sdk on my machine, and copying over the library file to /mediator/bin/Debug/ now works. So, could use this issue to either update the docs or to fix the library dependencies.

Also, it only works if we keep leave the library at /mediator/bin/Debug/ folder. Setting path variables doesn't work.

I have also the same issue.

dotnet info:

I have places the libindy.dylib file in Debug as well as netcoreapp3.1, but the error is the same.

what could be the possible solution?

@spsingh559 Did you download the library or built it yourself?

[spsingh559]

I downloaded the static library from https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk#macos and even try to build from the source https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/blob/master/docs/build-guides/mac-build.md but nothing works out.

[spsingh559]

Finally, the issue has been fixed by adding environment variable targeting to indy sdk build.

export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/indy-sdk/libindy/target/debug export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=$PATH:$LIBRARY_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note: I have not placed libindy.dylib anywhere. Just followed the instruction to build from the source https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/blob/master/docs/build-guides/mac-build.md and then add the above environment variable as shown above in .zshrc file

Try removing wallet, to start mediator afresh. cd $HOME/.indy_client rm -rf wallet

Glad you solved this. It's unfortunate that there's no one way that works for everyone. Libindy has too many external dependencies and this has been a point of great friction.
