Cortex assembler : libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file

I am repeatedly trying to run example1_simple_snp in cortex_var but unfortunately it is throwing error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

According to google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cortex_var), this problem has been marked as duplicate but unfortunately I am unable to find the link where this problem has been solved. I am attaching the error as well as my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Can anybody comment on how to solve this?

Check 1: Have you exported your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or just set the variable?

Check 2: Does the corresponding file "libgsl.so.0" actually exist in any of the directories specified in you library path?

You beat me by 2 minutes :P

BTW, nice user name!

Gotcha! ;-P

And thank you but it's actually my family name :D If I bump into you (been living in Freiburg as well), I will show you my passport ;-)

Hah! I do enjoy that Germans often have meaningful last names.

Have you looked for libgsl.so in the directories in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

BTW, you'll likely get better support for this type of problem on stackoverflow.
