Issues with shared library when setting up Spinnaker Python SDK (PySpin) on Ubuntu 20.04

I plan on using PySpin on Ubuntu but I cannot get the code to compile with this as the only error:

I understand that shared libraries must be added to the correct system variables. However, I don't see any files named "libSpinnaker.so.4".

I am using Python 3.10 and I followed the directions specified in the README.txt. Install numpy, matplotlib, and then execute/open the wheel with pip. Please point me in the right direction if possible. Thank you!

Traceback (most recent call last): File ".../AcquireAndDisplay/main.py", line 32, in import PySpin File ".../AcquireAndDisplay/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PySpin.py", line 15, in import _PySpin ImportError: libSpinnaker.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

This was the error when trying to execute one of their sample python scripts.

I had the exact same problem, but it was solved when I installed the correct SDK version.

Since the PySpin module is looking for "libSpinnaker.so.4" and you are using Python3.10, it seems you that you have installed the python wheel for Spinnaker 4.x.x on Ubuntu 20.04. However, you should install Spinnaker 3.2.0.62 and use Python3.8 if you are on Ubuntu 20.04.
