Hi All,
I am sure i'm not the only person experiencing this problem. It seems
when using the python module to handle auth/acct.
If you include the MySQLdb module in the python script freeradius then
dies and is unable to load the pythong module.
I am using the latest stable freeradius version 2.1.6, built for ubuntu
as per http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build using fakeroot.
The python script being used is the "prepaid.py" script renamed to
"radiusd_test.py" in the example below.
I am using the standard scripts and config from freeradius, I found a
similar article regarding this and apparently has something to do with
statically linking the module ?
Are there any solutions for this ?

This seems to be wholey a Python problem, not a FreeRADIUS problem
because you're getting a Python import error, specifically an unresolved
reference to a symbol in a .so. It's probably easiest to diagnose this
outside of FreeRADIUS. My first guess would be you've got something
amiss in your Python setup because the missing symbol PyExc_ImportError
is a common symbol which should be defined in libpython2.6.so. I'm
guessing something is linked against the wrong libraries or a library
path is not pointing in the right place. Here is a series of steps I
would try:
Fire up python from the command line by typing python, that will put you
in a python interpreter shell. Then type "import MySQLdb". Does the
import succeed? Try the same thing with your script.
Check which libraries standard python are using (note, the path name
will likely be different).

On my system _mysql.so in in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages but on
yours its in /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/_mysql.so, adjust the
paths appropriately.

This will tell you what the loader will try to resolve when you try to
do the import. If you see a mismatch in the libraries or their paths
then there is your culprit.
