Hello, I'm not sure if this the correct list but here goes (and sorry for the noise). I've been attempting to wrap python around libhdfs. So far so good (i've attached the SWIG template at the end). The compilation works without errors and the shared objects do have references to all the functions.
However, when importing into python import pyhdfs i get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/home/sguha/tmp/b/hdfs.py", line 7, in ? import _hdfs ImportError: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory However, libjvm.so is located in /home/sguha/mine/jdk1.6.0_02/jre/lib/ amd64/server which is present in the PYTHONPATH and sys.path. I can understand it complaining <i>while</i> loading the libjvm.so but python doesn't locate it even when in the path. As an aside, the build command for hdfs.c has " -ljvm " - this should affect SWIG, right? Meaning if my program (e.g) links to a library and i want a wrapper around my program (to python) i need SWIG templates for my headers only and not for the linked library...right? ( I guess the answer is i dont otherwise that would be quite a nightmare of work) Thank you for your time Saptarshi Attachments: SWIG template %module pyhdfs %{ #include "hdfs.h" %} %include "hdfs.h" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
