[Python] ROS Noetic (Ubuntu 20.04) - CV Bridge Not Working

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Python 3.8 ROS Noetic Desktop Full installed

Confirmed I do have the file /lib/libgdal.so.26

Performed pip3 install opencv-python already Performed sudo apt install --reinstall gdal-bin libgdal-dev python3-gdal already Performed sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-cv-bridge already -- Result of the above was that ros-noetic-cv-bridge is already at the newest version.

However when my code hits the line

from cv_bridge.boost.cv_bridge_boost import getCvType

I get

ImportError: /lib/libgdal.so.26: undefined symbol: sqlite3_column_table_name and am at a loss at how to deal with this

NOTE : I followed the instructions at Unable to use cv_bridge with ROS Kinetic and Python3

I tried replacing "kinetic" with "noetic" and replaced the version number with mine (1.15.0).

Doing catkin build cv_bridge as instructed ther went through but gave me a few strange outputs.

Warnings << cv_bridge:make /home/tdadmin/catkin_workspace/logs/cv_bridge/build.make.000.log
cc1plus: warning: /home/tdadmin/.local/bin/python3.6m: not a directory cc1plus: warning: /home/tdadmin/.local/bin/python3.6m: not a directory cc1plus: warning: /home/tdadmin/.local/bin/python3.6m: not a directory cc1plus: warning: /home/tdadmin/.local/bin/python3.6m: not a directory cd /home/tdadmin/catkin_workspace/build/cv_bridge; catkin build --get-env cv_bridge | catkin env -si /usr/bin/make --jobserver-auth=3,4; cd -

I'mnot sure why its looking at python3.6m for anything. I set the executable line as stated for 3.8.

E: Below is the ~/catkin_workspace/src/vision_opencv/cv_bridge/CMakeLists.txt content.

That said there are plenty of other CMakeLists.txt in this very directory, including

./src/vision_opencv/cv_bridge/python, ./src/vision_opencv/cv_bridge/test, ./src/vision_opencv/cv_bridge/, ./src/vision_opencv/cv_bridge/src

E2 : These are the results from catkin build cv_bridge
