The ldd should point you to the library which is not loaded. Maybe the library you need is not in one of the normal locations in your Linux/Unix path.
Normally, the linker looks for library under /lib and /usr/lib, and maybe other paths specified in /etc/ld.so.conf If you know the library is installed in your system, you can force the linker to look for it, either modifying your /etc/ld.so.conf (better if you know what you're doing, however) or, just setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/non/standard/lib/dir/ python -c "import foo" Another possibility, which you can check googling a little, is that you've two different versions of the libarary around your system, and that you're loading the wrong one (i.e., python is looking at the wrong one) again, setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH should help Regards Marco On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 2:33 PM, gianluca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 30 Ago, 12:05, "Marco Bizzarri" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 7:53 PM, gianluca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > hy list, >> > I've built _libfoo.so and libfoo.py library with swig and I've copied >> > in /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/ but when import the module >> >> >>>import libfoo >> >> > I've that message >> >> > Traceback (most recent call last): >> > File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> >> > ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_libfoo.so: undefined >> > symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local >> >> > Could anybody help me? >> >> > gianluca >> > -- >> >http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >> >> Have you tried to use ldd against the _libfoo.so to check if it is >> able to get all the libraries it needs? >> >> Regards >> Marco >> >> -- >> Marco Bizzarrihttp://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/ > > I've tried with ldd and the library aren't loaded.
