Hello Folks,

After struggling for a while, I eventually managed to install wxPython-2.6.3.3 unicode version in my Red Hat Linux system. But now I am getting the following error.

[root@rh-aee-07-iw Desktop]# python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Apr 17 2007, 13:24:25)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

import _core_
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core_.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>>

I made sure that _core_.so file is in the directory. The file is there but for some reason it couldn't open the file. I tried installing the ansi version, installing it in another location but of no avail.

I would really really apreciate your help.

I would also thankful if somebody could shed some light on the situations and circumstances where an error like that(not being able to access a shared object file) would pop up and hints and clues to fix such situation.

Thanks again,

Ananda

I have an update for you guys if anybody is reading these posts:

I went to the folder where _core_.so is and tried

$ ldd _core_.so

and got the following. I can see that it could not find a lot of libraries. Is this a serious issue? Then I did a locate to find one of the missing library and i found it in /opt/pango/lib folder. Then I added this path in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Then I tried ldd _core_.so again and still getting the same list and a lot of not found.
