dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2

Question

This is my view:

from django.conf import settings
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
import weasyprint
         


        

Answer 1

If you are getting this error when using weasyprint, then you may have forgotten to install Pango, GdkPixbuf, and cairo dependencies of weasyprint which cannot be installed using pip/pip3

For Debain/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-cffi libcairo2 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libffi-dev shared-mime-info
