I am trying to install python bindings of deepstream(Release DeepStream_Python_Apps_Bindings_v1.1.4 · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps · GitHub) as described here(https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps/blob/master/HOWTO.md)

pip3 install ~/pyds-1.1.4-py3-none-linux_x86_64.whl

results in the following error -

Can someone point out what am I missing here?

What’s the python version on your host? You may build the wheel on your host and install it again: deepstream_python_apps/bindings at master · NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_python_apps (github.com)

I am using conda and the python version is 3.8 which is supposed to be supported. Is there no other way other than building wheel from source?

5

@yingliu I built the wheel and still get the same error as above

6

Some symbol cannot be found in libgobject-2.0.so, normally libglib should be installed automatically when installation gstreamer. Can you describe how you installed deepstream on your host?

7

@yingliu i simply followed steps as mentioned here

https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/dev-guide/text/DS_Quickstart.html#dgpu-setup-for-ubuntu

8

@yingliu As you can see here (Dealing with warnings while running deepstream-test3 on dGPU) while there are certain warnings but I am able to run apps.

9

Do I need to have some environment variable set that I may be missing like LIBFFI_CFLAGS ?
or do i need to change versions of libgobject or libffi ?

10

What’s the version of your Ubuntu? Please be sure the requirement of DeepStream6.1.1 on dGPU should be satisfied::
Quickstart Guide — DeepStream 6.1.1 Release documentation (nvidia.com)

Can you run the other sample code well? You can try to use the sample stream /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.1/samples/streams

You can also try deepstream docker which is more environment dependent: install nvidia-docker2(container toolkit) Installation Guide — NVIDIA Cloud Native Technologies documentation and pull the deepstream image: DeepStream | NVIDIA NGC

@yingliu
Ubuntu version is 20.04.
All of my dependencies exactly match as given in docs.

As seen here Dealing with warnings while running deepstream-test3 on dGPU - #3 by yingliu I’m able to run the c++ sample apps. Please help me fix the pyds install error as that is needed for development .

Using docker for development will not work for my usecase

I was able to get this to work after setting
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7

Glad to know it works, can this topic also be closedDealing with warnings while running deepstream-test3 on dGPU - Intelligent Video Analytics / DeepStream SDK - NVIDIA Developer Forums?
