Cannot find libsteaam_api.so

[blindsighter314]

Whenever I attempt to require luasteam.so I get the following error.

Error

error loading module 'luasteam' from file './luasteam.so':
libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Traceback

[C]: at 0x7f86e885f310
[C]: in function 'require'
main.lua:2: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

My OS is Ubuntu Linux 64 bit.
In my current configuration I have luasteam.so and libsteam_api.so sitting in the root game folder with main.lua.

I am requiring luasteam with

steam = require 'luasteam'

I have tried the pre compiled luasteam as well as compiling it myself with Lua 5.1 .h files. I have tried putting libsteam_api in the root folder as well as the save folder and the normal sdk folder, all with the same error.

I am using the latest release of the Steamworks SDK as of November 11th. Any tips?

Thank you,

Not sure exactly how you're running this command.

It might help if you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory that has libsteam, so something like

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. lua main.lua

Does that help?

If it doesn't, try to provide a minimum (not) working example and I'll see if I can repro.

That worked, thank you very much for the support.
