Okay so I know there are some similar topics to this. I haven’t been able to figure out how any of the solutions therein are applicable.
When I run any code that uses ROOT, I get error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am working on a cluster and loading the module that they have installed. Here is the end of my .bashrc

running ls $ROOTSYS/lib gives a single directory root within which libCore.so exists.

I can run root just fine from anywhere.
The topic that is most similar to mine seems to be this: [Solved] libCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
but since I’m working on a cluster, /etc/ is not something I can touch. I have asked the cluster if that is something someone can help with. However, I wanted to post here to see if there’s another solution someone can point to.
As to the other topics with a similar error:
This link: libCore.so.6.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
doesn’t have a solution
The solution in this one: Error loading shared libraries, cannot open object file
seems to be something I already have
Likewise, this one Error while loading shared libraries - libCore.so - #14 by papagaj seems to be not applicable.
