I am using python 2.7 on Linux Mint 16. I am facing an error, if I run my IDE (tried it on Spyder and Pycharm) from a program launcher (eg. from the prompt at Alt F2 or an icon shortcut on my desktop) the modules do not load and I get the following error
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gurobipy/__init__.py", line 1, in
from .gurobipy import *
ImportError: libgurobi56.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
However, if I run the program from the command line the modules load correctly and the program runs fine. I have only one installation each of the IDEs. The sys.path output from the two instances are as follows:

The package gurobipy is in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Installation procedure followed for gurobi package:
1) Untarred the download to /opt/gurobi562/linux64
2) Added following lines to .bashrc
export GUROBI_HOME="/opt/gurobi562/linux64"
export PATH="${PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${GUROBI_HOME}/lib"
3) In /opt/gurobi562/linux64 ran python setup.py install this created the gurobipy folder in /usr/local/lib/python2.7
4) Added the following line to .bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/gurobipy"
You don't set the path to the gurobipy.
Download then untar to /opt.
cd to `/opt/gurobi562/linux64` and run `python setup.py install`
Add following to ~/.bashrc.
export GUROBI_HOME="/opt/gurobi562/linux64"
export PATH="${PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/lib"
From bash type source ~/.bashrc
start ipython shell and try from gurobipy import *, it should work fine, the only error it will give is about not having a licence if you have not downloaded and installed one from here
To set system wide access, first create
sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gurobi_pi.conf
Then add
/opt/gurobi562/linux64/lib
and save the file.
Then enter
sudo ldconfig
to update the libs across the system. You should have access to the shared libs in Pycharm.
