For some reason swig on my computer is not configured correctly.
It gives this output on checking version:
$ swig --version
swig: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
whereas on reinstalling it the following output is generated:
piyush@piyush-HP:~/test$ sudo apt-get install swig
[sudo] password for piyush:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
swig is already the newest version (3.0.8-0ubuntu3).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
any suggestions for how to fix it?
thanks.

swig isn't the problem. it's that your system can't findlibpcre.so.1. Ubuntu has a packagelibpcre3that has alibpcre.so.3file. You could try installing that and see if it satisfies swig's requirements.

If not, you could try creating a symbolic link named 'libpcre.so.1', pointing to the libpcre.so.3 file, and see if that works. Kind of strange though, because apt should be managing the dependencies.

To do that, you use thelncommand, for example:ln -sv [target] [link-name]. You would need to put the link in the location that swig is expecting for libpcre.so.1 and direct it to wherever libpcre.so.3 is installed. Chances are, it is probably looking for the so.1 in the same directory as libpcre.so.3. You can seeman lnfor more details.
