I am trying to use the Pi Camera Module 3 on the Raspberry Pi 4B. I have tried running a Python script which calls the module in the terminal, and the output shows an error message:
cshwstem@raspberrypi:~/Desktop $ python3 preview.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/cshwstem/Desktop/preview.py", line 18, in <module>

self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libmmal.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Has anyone encountered this error before when using the Pi Camera Module 3 on the Raspberry Pi 4?
