Unable to run test in the python wrapper about libmadam HOT 3 OPEN

Is libmadam.so installed in a directory on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

from libmadam.

I am not sure, how do i check that?

@echalbau, when python or any program uses the linker to load a shared library, it looks in specific system locations and also in user-defined locations specified (on linux) by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. When you install madam you need to choose where you are installing the software and then make sure that this install prefix is in your default search paths. For example, if you install to /home/user/blah, then typically you would do (assuming you use a Bourne-compatible shell):

export PATH=/home/user/blah/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/blah/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/blah/lib/python3.X/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
(where "X" in the previous line depends on your python version)

Manipulating your shell environment is much more general than installing libmadam, and there are many resources on the internet that are more informative than what I can write here. Whenever you compile and install software to a non-standard location you will have to manipulate your shell environment somehow to find executables, libraries, and python packages.
