Unable to load shared library 'OpenCvSharpExtern' or one of its dependencies.

[thebpmgroup]

Summary of your issue

Using VSCode and dot net core 2.2 following the instructions :+1:

dotnet new console -n ConsoleApp01 cd ConsoleApp01 dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4 dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4.runtime.ubuntu.18.04-x64

-- edit Program.cs ---

dotnet run

When I add the following code

using System; using OpenCvSharp;

namespace ConsoleApp01 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var srcImage = new Mat(@"/somepathtoafile.jpg"); Cv2.ImShow("Source", srcImage); Cv2.WaitKey(1); // do events } } }

Environment

Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop 64bit

What did you do when you faced the problem?

Just tried to run the program.

Output:

What did you intend to be?

To compile and run ok

Hi,

I just had the same problem.

It seems to be a problem with: .nuget\packages\opencvsharp4.runtime.ubuntu.18.04-x64\4.1.0.20190416\runtimes\ubuntu-x64\native\libOpenCvSharpExtern.so which is only 3.5 MB in the release 4.1.0.20190416.

I was able to get it working with an older version, e.g.: 4.0.1.20190326.

where the file: .nuget\packages\opencvsharp4.runtime.ubuntu.18.04-x64\4.0.1.20190326\runtimes\ubuntu-x64\native\libOpenCvSharpExtern.so is 62 MB big

You might wanna downgrade your nuget packages accordingly.

Take care, Martin

[SpontaneousDuck]

Reference #667 to build from source. this worked for me. You need to remove the reference to the runtime package and after everything was built and installed from source it worked for me.

Something must be wrong in the runtime nuget package.

[dtjensen]

I have tried the steps from #667 and still cannot get this to work. I am still facing the issue where the extern lib cannot be loaded. Are there any other approaches to resolve this?

[sharpwood]

I have the same issue on ubuntu 18.04 ， OpenCvSharp4.runtime.ubuntu 4.1.1.20191023

In the arm64 linux system, Is there any solution to the same problem? @shimat

[shimat]

Sorry, arm64 linux is not supported. (I'm not working on it, but there might be a solution.)

[TWhidden]

+1 for ARM64 -- working on the nvidia nano, want to see if we can use the GPU acceleration for DNN predictions. @shimat , if you want SSH to a device, I can get that info to you. (Ubuntu 18.04 also)

[TWhidden]

Just a follow up -- was able to get Arm64 running - Just simply compile it it --

For those that want what I did, since I used the Nvidia Nano for CUDA acceleration with DNN. Works like a charm!

cd opencv
mkdir release
cd release

cmake   -D WITH_CUDA=ON \
        -D CUDA_ARCH_BIN="5.3,6.2,7.2" \
        -D CUDA_ARCH_PTX="" \

same issue, perhaps a build with ubuntu 20.04 LTS would be nice (ffmpeg libs are newer).

Encountered this issue on apple silicon, solved by changing from dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4.runtime.osx.10.15-x64 --version 4.5.1.20210208 to dotnet add package OpenCvSharp4.runtime.osx_arm64 --version 4.8.1-rc
