ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error typically occurs when the “libraries such as libsm6, libxext6, and libxrender are missing from your system.”
How to fix it?
To fix the ImportError: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error, install missing libraries such as “opencv-python”, “libsm6”, “libxext6”, and “libxrender”.
!pip install opencv-python
!sudo apt update && apt install -y libsm6 libxext6
!sudo apt-get install -y libxrender-dev
For CentOS/RHEL/Fedora
sudo yum install libXext libSM
Install another library, “libxrender-dev,” using the following command:
sudo apt install libxrender-dev
After installing the required libraries, restart your application, IDE, or terminal session to ensure the changes take effect.
These commands should fix the ImportError by installing the necessary shared object files.
