Hello, I have tried to install the Python Database API Specification v2.0 module on a linux system and I am having problem with the import command after what seems like a installation with out errors. Here's how I did the install:
Ran the build_ext with the following command: python setup.py build_ext --esql-informixdir=/opt/informix And got the following output: running build_ext /opt/informix/bin/esql -EDHAVE_ESQL9 -EDHAVE_DESCRIBE_INPUT -e _informixdb.ec building '_informixdb' extension creating build creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.4 creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/ext gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC -DPYTHON_INCLUDE=/usr/include/python2.4 -DHAVE_C_DATETIME=1 -DHAVE_PY_BOOL=1 -Iext -I/opt/informix/incl/esql -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c ext/_informixdb.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/ext/_informixdb.o creating build/lib.linux-i686-2.4 gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/ext/_informixdb.o /opt/informix/lib/esql/checkapi.o -L/opt/informix/lib/esql -L/opt/informix/lib -lifsql -lifasf -lifgen -lifos -lifgls -lc -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lifglx -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/_informixdb.so Then ran the install: python setup.py install And got this output: running install running build running build_py running build_ext running install_lib copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/_informixdb.so -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/informixdb.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/informixdb.py to informixdb.pyc So no errors and everything seems okay. When I get into python and try to run: import informixdb I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/informixdb.py", line 146, in ? from _informixdb import * ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_informixdb.so: undefined symbol: sqli_describe_input_stmt Any help or incite is appreciated, John _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
