hi. i have a problem using the libavifile. when i make a simple program using the avi decoder functions of libavifile, all works fine. the libaviplay.so library uses without problem the shared object ffmpeg.so with the decoder code. but when i make a shared object out of the simple program (in fact a python extension), the libaviplay library failed opening the ffmpeg.so with the annoying 'undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0' error. i'm using gcc 3.3.2, and the libaviplay.so seems to be compiled with a gcc 3.X either (debian sarge: ii libavifile-0.7c102 0.7.38.20030710-sarge1 Shared libraries for AVI read/writing). any ideas? is there a way to find out with what gcc version the libavifile things have been compiled? or am i making some mistake? tia, michael
