Unable to link libPhysXGpu_64.so on linux

[Spatchler]

I've build PhysX 5.4.1, all the snippets work fine. But I have been unable to link PhysX into my own C++ project. I have been using premake5.

My project builds just fine but only with cuda and PhysXGpu_64 linked. However when I run the binary I get this error:"error while loading shared libraries: libPhysXGpu_64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

My premake config: https://pastebin.com/00GgeqLV

Hi @Spatchler
As I understand, if all the snippets work, libPhysXGpu_64.so exists. It's just your app that can't find it. Did you try to add the path to PhysX's libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or just copy them to where your app is located?

I haven't set an LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The library files are stored in the install folder when I built the library and I just add the lib directories in my premake config.

Ok, I have never encountered LD_LIBRARY_PATH this before when linking shared libraries, probably because I install them with my package manager. I ended up copying the libPhysXGpu_64.so into /usr/lib to fix the issue. Thanks for the reply @vreutskyy
