Indeed that solve the LD_LBIRARY_PATH completely. Thank you very much for such fast fix 😄.

Indeed export cna resolve the issue for short term.

There is another way that does not requires “export”.

I tries to force-install lilcom from Miniconda via lilcom channel, and the issue is also resolved.

Maybe in documentation, explanation can be added to advice user to install lilcom from Miniconda/Anaconda if user’s Python is installed from there?

@davidlin409 It should be fixed in https://github.com/danpovey/lilcom/pull/48

Please use the latest lilcom (v1.5). You don’t need to set LD_LBIRARY_PATH any more.
