riscv start debugging: libpython3.10.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[fhoedemakers]

Trying to debug a program compiled for riscv.

Debugger fails with this message:

/home/frank/.pico-sdk/toolchain/RISCV_RPI_2_0_0_2/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.10.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error: Unable to start GDB even after 5 seconds or it couldn't even start Make sure you can start gdb from the command-line and run any command like "echo hello".
    If you cannot, it is most likely because "libncurses" or "python" is not installed. Some GDBs require these
GDB session ended unexpectedly. exit-code: 127
GDB could not start as expected. Bad installation or version mismatch. See if you can start gdb from a shell prompt and check its version (Must be >= 9)

I created a new project from the blink example

Using Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS on x64 (WSL)

As far as i can see python 3.12.3 is installed on my system, but debugger seems to expect 3.10.
