FAQ - BlenderVR Install
=======================

Error: Building PySide
----------------------

**PySide compilation fails and returns: ``[ 83%] Building CXX object libshiboken/CMakeFiles/libshiboken.dir/shibokenbuffer.cpp.o
Linking CXX shared library libshiboken.cpython-34m.so``**

Python was built without using ./configure option '--enable-shared' and the default is 'disabled'. The PySide build needs a python shared object (``python.X.x.so``) shared library and not a static (``.a``) library.

Error: Python executable not finding libpython shared library
-------------------------------------------------------------

**Python run fails and returns: ``error while loading shared libraries: libpythonX.x.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory``**

See this `thread <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7880454/python-executable-not-finding-libpython-shared-library>`_.
