m64py on ARM

Trying to run on ARM (odroid u3, Mali 400, lubuntu 14.04)

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Dynamic library "libo" was not found

Any idea?

Did you use a mupen64plus version compiled against SDL2? Then try to start m64py with the parameter --sdl2

This is only a workaround (when it works) and not and actual fix

[sergiobenrocha2]

Yup, it's compiled against SDL2.

m64py --sdl2

Weird, I have SDL2 installed here.

Depends: python3, libsdl2-2.0-0, python3-pyqt5, python3-pyqt5.qtopengl, python3-pyqt5.qtsvg

Is it missing some dep?

Try checking your shared object library name. Some programs don't support the version suffixes that are placed by the OS (e.g. libxxx.so.6). If it has a numeric suffix, create a symlink without the suffix. For instance, you'd link libxxx.so.6 as libxxx.so.

If that doesn't work, I'm probably wrong and you should tell us the name of the .so file. :)

pip install pysdl2 and pip3 install pysdl2 worked for me
