pyinstaller/pyinstaller#6725

referring to this issue. I'm also facing the same problem. Please tell me what to change.

The code in "libsvm\svm.py", line 45 is trying to load shared library (judging by the line number, that's probably libsvm-official with corresponding code as opposed to libsvm with corresponding code, but the only difference is the library name and placement).

PyInstaller does not collect such shared libraries automatically, so you need to ensure that it is collected (and that it is collected where the package's code expects to find it). It might be easiest to just use --add-binary but you could also try to automate the search with a custom hook.

Anyway, I'm moving this to contributed hooks repository; if we were to implement hook for libsvm, it would be there.
