We are also getting this error too:

Hey @Quinton Miller, did you also post this in #C9UTHTFFB ?

I assume this isn’t a new error on an existing installation? The library by default is installed on macos to

/usr/local/lib

which is in the users lookup path for dynamic libs, but is owned by root (so you require running

pact-go -l DEBUG install

with

sudo

alternatively you can configure where it downloads to with `PACT_GO_LIB_DOWNLOAD_PATH`but the only other alternative place is

/tmp

https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/blob/4c2079fee11a7f484b3a5ec23cea39e6d9283c50/internal/native/lib.go#L5-L6 which is user writable so you can avoid sudo if you need to

Thanks, we don't have sudo available for this download so will try the second option.
