ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Importing cv2 in python is showing error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "siamese_network_v13_docker_cs_opposite.py", line 19, in <module>
import cv2
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
from .cv2 import *
ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This shows some library file is missing.
Solution:
Initially, it is better to install the open-cv latest version (if it is not already installed):
pip install opencv-python

if these packages are already installed then update using:
pip install opencv-python --upgrade
pip install opencv-contrib-python --upgrade
after that install the missing libraries using the following
