python script and libGLEW related error (menpo.io API)

Question

I am writing a python script in Ubuntu 14.04 that imports the menpo.io (API for deformable models) that results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libGLEW.so.@glew_version@: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The library I import is called Menpo.io

Any ideas how to fix this ?

Answer 1

I have to apologise, this is actually totally my fault as I was trying to update some of our build scripts and accidentally released a broken build of GLEW. To fix this, you can run:

conda install -c menpo --force glew=1.10.0

Which should download and reinstall GLEW and hopefully fix this problem.

Please reply back if you have any problems at all!
