I am new to linux. I want to make use of an ".so" module in my python programme. I have successfully installed the ".so" module by a setup file.
But when I try to import the ".so" module in my python programme I am getting an error like ImportError: /usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_first.so: undefined symbol: __fread_chk.
I am working on opensuse server.
Please help me to solve this.
Please let me know if you require any further information.

Welcome to LQ.

Which Suse version ? http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html

And the name of the installed "python module", please :
The package name, that provides "site-packages/_first.so"

Also : What is the output from the commands : 1) which python
2) python --version

..

which python
/usr/bin/python

python --version
python 2.5.1

opensuse version 10.3

i have a first_wrap.c file and i created a setup file as below.

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""
setup.py file for SWIG example
"""

from distutils.core import setup, Extension


first = Extension(
'_first',
sources = [
'first_wrap.c'
]
)

setup (name = 'first',
version = '0.1',
author = "Pradeesh",
description = """First programme""",
ext_modules = [first],
py_modules = ["firstastro","firstastroutils","firstswecls"],
)

i build and install this setup file and the _first.so got created.

Please let me know if you require any more information.
