[NEST Users] cannot open shared object file (pynestkernel.so)

I’m trying to run NEST on Jureca, but I get an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/p/project/jinm60/users/wybo1/Code/NEAST_models/BBP/tests/run_all_tests.py", line 2, in <module> import nest.lib.hl_api_exceptions as nestexceptions File "/p/home/jusers/wybo1/jureca/nest/nest-install/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/nest/__init__.py", line 64, in <module> from .ll_api_kernel_attributes import KernelAttribute # noqa ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/p/home/jusers/wybo1/jureca/nest/nest-install/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/nest/ll_api_kernel_attributes.py", line 22, in <module> from .ll_api import spp, sps, sr, stack_checker File "/p/home/jusers/wybo1/jureca/nest/nest-install/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/nest/ll_api.py", line 53, in <module> from . import pynestkernel as kernel # noqa pylint: disable=no-name-in-module ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ImportError: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Apparently it doesn’t find pynestkernel.so (I think?). However, this file is definitely there. wybo1@jrlogin09 ~/.../site-packages/nest> pwd /p/home/jusers/wybo1/jureca/nest/nest-install/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/nest wybo1@jrlogin09 ~/.../site-packages/nest> ls __init__.py __pycache__ lib ll_api.py ll_api_kernel_attributes.py logic math pynest-init.sli pynestkernel.so random raster_plot.py server spatial spatial_distributions versionchecker.py visualization.py voltage_trace.py The problem also only manifests itself while running from a SLURM script. I followed the install instruction here: https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/noenv_install.… And source the nest_vars.sh file according to the instructions: `source /p/home/jusers/wybo1/jureca/nest/nest-install/bin/nest_vars.sh` Also, `make installcheck` passes successfully (both from the login node and from a slurm script).
