Error on "hello world" program

[Marcin Krol]

Hello everyone,

I have checked (on latest pyinstaller from svn) that "hello world"
program consisting just of print "Hello, world" can't be frozen using
pyinstaller:

[root@NC044105 pyinstaller]# ./hello.py
Hello world!

[root@NC044105 pyinstaller]# python Makespec.py hello.py
wrote /root/pyinstaller/hello/hello.spec
now run Build.py to build the executable

[root@NC044105 pyinstaller]# python Build.py hello/hello.spec

self.fixMissingPythonLib(binaries)
File "Build.py", line 394, in fixMissingPythonLib
raise IOError("Python library not found!")
IOError: Python library not found!

About the only things I can think of is that my python (2.6.2) is
compiled from source and it is available at /usr/local/bin/python.

Help!

Regards,
mk

Hello everyone,

P.S. platform is RH 5.3.

Ok, pyinstaller fails to find libpython. Is that file present on your
system? Did you compile Python with the --enable-shared option?

Regards,

Florian

Ah! So that's the problem.

No, I compiled it with --disable-shared (for freezing with freeze.py
which requires static compilation of as many modules as possible).
