Error: Library not loaded: @rpath/libpython3.11.dylib

[paakhim10]

The above file, post-installation of Pipeless following the guidelines, is unavailable in the .pipeless directory. The only files in the directory are: _deviceid, ibonnxruntime.1.16.0.dylib, libonnxruntime.dylib.

My system has Python installed already; further, I downgraded it to 3.11 for compatibility with Pipeless. What is the solution to this?

Hi @paakhim10 ,

Could you share some logs or more context about the error?

Also, Pipeless is compatible with Python 3.12 in macOS. I assume you are using macOS since you mention the dylib files.

Hi @miguelaeh! Thanks so much for responding. pipeless_log.txt This is the terminal log file. For context, the prior Python packages are Conda installed, I am not sure if it interferes with Pipeless installation.

Hi @paakhim10 ,

I think it is not related to Python packages but with the Python installation. libpython3.11 is basically the main Python interpreter library.

You can try to build it from source as described in the following link. In this way Pipeless will take whatever Python you have installed in your system: https://www.pipeless.ai/docs/docs/v1/getting-started/installation#macos

I had tried that earlier because of the same reasoning, but that's when I was encountering the error. I've now run the project using the docker image, and the dylib error is resolved. Thank you, @miguelaeh!

Hi, @miguelaeh The docker image method is encountering errors with the server connection. Could you look into the following code and explain why the dylib error occurs? curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pipeless-ai/pipeless/main/install.sh | bash This installs Pipeless successfully with the following warning:

I've tried building it through different methods and used the docker container images for building my project as well, but I can not get any example to run on my system. Thank you so much!

Can you elaborate on how did you install Python? Can you try including your Python installation on the rpath? It seems to be a problem locating the Python library in your system.

The warning during the build is not related. You can either add your libpython to the rpath or create a symlink at /Users/paakhim10/.pipeless/libpython3.11.dylib'.
