I am trying to link statically psycopg2-2.0.13 to libpq.a on my mac os 10.5.5. The build goes fine and libpq is statically linked: otool -L build/lib.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6/psycopg2/_psycopg.so build/lib.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6/psycopg2/_psycopg.so: /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.7.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.7, current version 0.9.7) /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.7, current version 0.9.7) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.2) But when I try to import psycopg2 I get: Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Dec 6 2008, 10:32:39) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import psycopg2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/tools/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 60, in <module> from _psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID ImportError: dlopen(/tools/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so, 2): Symbol not found: _error_message Referenced from: /tools/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so Expected in: dynamic lookup -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
