I've pointed out before that your local install of libpython is likely the culprit, because the main python executable is linked against it and binary modules (such as CPickle.so) depend on it, too. However, I did not examine your run-time linker and python path configurations to find out how exactly you installed private stuff to /usr/local. Obviously, the /usr/local/bin/python binary contains different search paths than /usr/bin/python. And with regard to the linker, even without using LD_LIBRARY_PATH you can make available libraries in /usr/local/lib via ld.so.conf* You say you run /usr/bin/python, so print the output of "ldd /usr/bin/python", please, when /usr/local/lib/libpython2.5.so is available. Plus, the output of "python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' ". -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
