I’ve also noticed this after I deleted everything and re-followed install guides:

I ended up
cd libcamera
sudo dpkg -i libcamera-dev-0.0.8-bullseye-arm64.deb
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so

And now libcamera-hello runs

Hi @phar
I have the exact same problem only with the newer version (0.0.12):

I don’t understand your instructions on how you’ve solved it, because I don’t have a libcamera folder, nor does /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2 exist.

I was following the instructions found here and I have a Imx462 from Arducam.

Best regards,
Claudio

Hi @CFOSD,

In fact, you can ignore this warning entirely.
After our test, this warning will not affect the actual use.
