Libraries not found when running MAME via python

[syaffers]

I get an error that some libraries are not found when trying to run run_cheat_debugger().

>>> roms_path = "/home/syafiq/mame/roms/"
>>> game_id = "carpolo"
>>> from MAMEToolkit.emulator import run_cheat_debugger
>>> run_cheat_debugger(roms_path, game_id)
./mame: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by ./mame)
./mame: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.9' not found (required by ./mame)
./mame: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./mame)
./mame: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./mame)
./mame: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./mame)

At this point the program just hangs.

I've compiled your version of mame, cloned for the master branch. Am I supposed to place the mame program in some specific folder or install some additional libraries via apt-get?

I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04, Python 3.6.6 (Anaconda) and installed the MAMEToolkit via pip.

Solved it! I moved my compiled version of mame into my Anaconda environment directory ($ANACONDA_HOME/envs/mame/lib/python3.6/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame) and it's working now.

I tried updating the GLIBCXX_3.4.22 but found that Ubuntu 16.04 is stuck at GLIBCXX_3.4.21, so, the other option is to compile my own version from scratch.
