I’m trying to get GridDB working on my WSL/Ubuntu environment. I have followed https://pypi.org/project/griddb-python/ to install griddb and was successful but when trying to import the module I’m getting the following error:

(griddb-env) lockmorei@LOCKMOREI:~$ python3.10 -c "import griddb_python"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/lockmorei/griddb-env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/griddb_python.py", line 21, in <module>
    import _griddb_python
ImportError: libgridstore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think what’s happening is that GridDB is using shared library as part of the c_client. However, even after installing it, I’m getting the same error.

Using https://github.com/griddb/c_client and latest 5.7.0 version:

wget https://github.com/griddb/griddb/releases/download/v5.7.0/gridstore_5.7.0_ubuntu22.04_x86_64.deb
sudo dpkg -i griddb_5.7.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Installed correctly I think:

lockmorei@LOCKMOREI:~$ sudo dpkg -i griddb_5.7.0_amd64.deb

Running the below command, I don’t understand why the ‘libgridstore.so.0 file is not being added when I install the c_client.

I also tried ldconfig -p | grep libgridstore and no output. No matter what I do to change the paths or install the dependencies, I’m still getting the same libgridstore file not found error. Any idea how that file can be added correctly?
