OSError: libaa.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[LPX55]

Hey all,

I can install TGTUI fine with pipenv as well as pip, but when I try to launch the client I keep getting this error:

OSError: libaa.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea what's wrong? I tried both Python 3.6, and 3.7.

Here's the full:

Please, install http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/

Try to install aalib by pip: pip3 install python-aalib

@vtr0n In the operating system (OpenBSD) that I use aalib has not been ported yet, I fork to leave aalib import optional. During the week I see if I can import aalib.

Thanks for the great work.

[vtr0n]

I remember that I have the same issue in OS X. I think you can modify this file to solve the problem.

[murilobsd]

I'm sorry I did not see this file, I will change it and see how it goes.

Thank you both. @vtr0n @murilobsd

Seems like aalib was installed properly? I am using py3.7 with pipenv.

pipenv shell pip install python-aalib pip3 install python-aalib ... Requirement already satisfied: python-aalib in /root/.local/share/virtualenvs/TelegramTUI-y2cX0UwA/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.3.2)

Same error:

    from telegramtui.src import aalib
  File "/home/TelegramTUI/telegramtui/src/aalib.py", line 4, in <module>

@hanyoonLDA what OS do you use?

[LPX55]

@vtr0n Ubuntu 18 on this machine.

[vtr0n]

@hanyoonLDA I'll fix this a little bit later. Please, try to install aalib another way:

sudo apt-get install aalib
sudo apt-get install python-aalib

[LPX55]

sudo apt-get install python-aalib

heyohhhh, that worked. Weird. Thank you!
