ImportError: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’m trying to deploy an app that fetches data from my DB2 database.
I got an error that libxml2.so.2 cannot be found.

Hi @AJmadea, welcome to the Streamlit community!! :wave: :partying_face:

This is a straightforward fix :slight_smile: libxml2 is an apt-get (system) dependency for the ibm_db Python package. i.e. ibm_db requires libxml2 to be installed on the machine.

To install it, create a packages.txt file in your repo containing the following entry:

libxml2

Once you’ve made the change and have rebooted your app, ibm_db will be successfully imported. Let us know if that is not the case.

Happy Streamlit’ing! :balloon:

Hi @snehankekre Can you please confirm how would it take affect after docker build?
My docker build is fine, but container is failing when one of the code step trying to import ibm_db
