getting an error when trying to run uwsgi: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.4m.so.1.0

Question

I've been runing uwsgi like so:

uwsgi --ini CMS_uwsgi.ini

and it used to work. However, I tried running uwsgi again after a couple weeks and I get this error now:

uwsgi: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.4m.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error now. It Might be because recently, I did

sudo apt-get autoremove

to remove installed packages that used to be installed as dependencies but aren't any longer (as mentioned here https://askubuntu.com/questions/187888/what-is-the-correct-way-to-completely-remove-an-application).

I tried to find it by running:

find -name "libpython3.4m.so.1.0"

but it did not return anything. Any idea on how to solve this issue?

I am using Lubuntu.

Answer 1

Found the answer. First, did

pip uninstall uwsgi

then tried installing it again:

pip install uwsgi

but it gave me the error:

plugins/python/uwsgi_python.h:2:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

I google'd around and came across this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/182313/install-uwsgi-1-2-5-via-pip which mentioned to install

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

so I installed python2.7-dev and retried installed uwsgi but got the same error. Realized I was using python3, came across this post: Cannot install uWSGI on Ubuntu 14.04 with Python 3.4 (paths?) which mentions to do

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

I did that and retried installing uwsgi and it worked fine again.

If you trying to run uwsgi in a virtual environment. Then run the following

pip install python-pcre

Now, try running the wsgi. Hope this helps!
