In order to run the examples, ensure that the path to the MXNet shared library is added to the OS specific environment variable such as _LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH_ . Review comment: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is one alternative. Experienced users can do "LD_PRELOAD" to load the shared library prior to running an example. Also, the configuration for 'ldconfig' can include "mxnet/lib/" path so that it gets included in the cache of share libraries when system builds it during startup. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
