raise AssimpError("assimp library not found")

[liujf69]

I followed the steps below to install pyassimp in Centos, but I got the following bug while importing pyassimp:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE dynamic)
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install assimp
pip install pyassimp

I tried copying the compiled dynamic library to the folder corresponding to helper.py, but the above error still occurred.

I don't know how to install and use pyassimp correctly in centos system.

To fix this you can try to add the folder where your so file is located to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH by:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path_to_your_folder_with_assimp_so>

If this does not work you should check if the 64-bit version of assimp is installed:

file <your_assimp_so>

The output shall contain something like 64-bit so

Hope that will help you.
