I don't know. I've never used QNX. It looks like the Python binaries were built with a linker that you don't have on your system. Usually, you have to use the same compiler/linker combination to build extension modules that you used to build Python itself. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
