This problem can be fixed by using python-1.5.1. It is cased because the
dynamic libraries that are loaded by gdk_imlib to load images expect
gdk_imlib's symbols to be visible in the main executable. This was no
problem with python <= 1.5.1, since extension modules were loaded with the
RTLD_GLOBAL flag.
The correct fix is to make the image loading libraries depend on
gdk_imlib, so the gdk_imlib symbols are visible to them. Unfortunately
past versions of libtool did not allow you to give a libtool library as a
dependency to another. However, aparently the latest version, libtool
1.3b, can do this. I will commit a fix to imlib sometime soon.
If you are only using released versions of packages, the best solution is
to use python 1.5.1, or modify python 1.5.2 to use the RTLD_GLOBAL flag
when loading extension modules.
