Mac M1 OSError: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0'

Hello! I could install WeasyPrint==53.3 on my M1 mac.

But when importing

from weasyprint import HTML, CSS

I receive an error

OSError: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0': dlopen(gobject-2.0-0, 2): image not found.  
Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'gobject-2.0-0'

Was anyone able to handle this? 🤔

Hi @liZe , thanks for the reply. The problem was that symlinks to the libraries were not created (can’t say should it be done by homebrew or weasyprint when installation) 🙈 .

So, I had to create symlinks to these libs manually

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/glib/lib/libgobject-2.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/gobject-2.0
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/pango/lib/libpango-1.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/pango-1.0
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/harfbuzz/lib/libharfbuzz.dylib /usr/local/lib/harfbuzz
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib /usr/local/lib/fontconfig-1
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/pango/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/pangoft2-1.0

This solved the problem 👍

I’ve installed Python3.9 with the installer.

That’s why you get this error. You can either uninstall this version of Python installed with the installer and use the Hombrew version instead (that’s the “official” solution according to the documentation), or keep the symlinks if you prefer (and hope that everything will be fine after the next upgrade).
