OSError: libtimsdata.so in aarch64 GNU/Linux

[aboffin]

Hi,

I installed timsconvert following conda instructions for python 3.11 on a Amazon Linux EC2 ARM64 (aarch64) instance.

Trying timsconvert --help prints the help message. I then tried converting a few Bruker .d files using: timsconvert --input <input> --outdir <outdir> --verbose > tc.log 2>&1`.

In the tc.log file, I see:

Any pointers on how to resolve this issue is appreciated. Thanks!
