This is probably a simple problem. But I downloaded the pywiiuse library from here and I also downloaded the examples. However when I try to run one of the examples I end up with import issues. I'm not certain I have everything configured properly to run. One error I receive when trying to run example.py:

Press 1&2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 73, in <module>
    wiimotes = wiiuse.init(nmotes)
  File "/home/thed0ctor/Descargas/wiiuse-0.12/wiiuse/__init__.py", line 309, in init
    dll = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libwiiuse.so')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 431, in LoadLibrary
    return self._dlltype(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 353, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libwiiuse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm really just starting out with this library and don't really see any documentation on how to configure pywiiuse so any help is much appreciated.

• python
• python-2.7

The pywiiuse library is a Python wrapper for the wiiuse C library.

Before you can use the wrapper you will first need to install the library it wraps, choose the newest version from this download page and download the appropriate installation package for you system (probably the .tar.gz since you appear to be on Linux).

add the link of libwiiuse.so to /usr/local/lib.

I also ran into this situation, I konw why it happies, but I don't konw the deep reason.
