Hi Francesc,
thanks for your reply. I have tried installing pytables first (step 4) and
then trying the import, but I get the same error. I don't have too much
experience with installing libraries, but it seems to me that Python is
finding the correct library, which is tables/utilsExtension.so, but there is
some problem with it, namely
ImportError: dlopen(tables/utilsExtension.so, 2): Symbol not found:
_compress2
Below is what happens if I delete utilsExtension.so from the tables
directory, and type the build command again, which compiles the shared
library again. If I understand this correctly, the compilation of the
utilsExtension.so library is successful, but when I try to import tables
from Python, something goes wrong. I am thinking that there may be something
wrong with whatever Python uses to load the shared library ( I have also
installed a newer version of libtool, but I am not sure if that helps). If
anyone has an idea what may be going wrong, please let me know.
Thanks again!
Milos
