New issue 34 by daiboushi: Python2.5 and IECore
http://code.google.com/p/cortex-vfx/issues/detail?id=34
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install cortexvfx with python2.5 (for more details, see
below "additional information")
2. Run python2.5
3. import IECore
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected it to just import, but can't confirm which python-versions it
supports. Instead, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/IECore/__init__.py", line 58, in

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cortex 5.6.0 on Gentoo Linux with Python 2.5.2.
Please provide any additional information below.

I've only seen this kind of error before when there has been some sort of
library mismatch. Either linking to two different versions of boost, or two
different builds of IECore, or two different versions of python. Or
building with one and then running with another. Is it possible you have
two pythons on your system? Or a couple of different builds of boost or
IECore?
Usually I debug this kind of problem in a couple of different ways. Firstly
I might run "ldd _IECore.so" on the binary part of the python module to
check that it links against the version of python and boost I expect. If
that doesn't reveal anything unexpected then I might set the environment
variable LD_DEBUG to "files" before I run python. This prints out
information about all libraries being loaded at runtime, and often reveals
the problem.

We have only had one build of Boost so far (1.41) compiled using emerge (so
not manually).
But for Python, yes we unfortunate have 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. We only use 2.5
however which is system default.
In my first tries I actually managed to specify 2.5 search paths but had
defaulted the system to 2.6 so maybe there are some garbage left.
When running "ldd _IECore.so" I see that all boost-dependent libraries have
correct version names. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to look for
when setting the LD_DEBUG to files but the version names all are correct.
Running the "scons test"-thing results in error right away (so
test/IECore/resultsPython.txt is empty)
However other stuff got broken after my compiles:
* The symlink /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so got removed so I
lost my OpenGL support, resulting in no OpenGL applications working
anymore. It was easily fixed thought once I understood what happened.
* Shake have stoped working. I have been looking at this all morning
without figuring out what the cause is. The only thing I found out was that
the folder "/usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/" suddenly contained OpenGL
libraries (no other machine here has anything inside that folder) and that
Shake wanted those instead of the original once placed elsewhere on the
system. Tried removing them and they ended up finding the correct ones..
but still not starting.
Sorry I'm starting to carrying away from the subject. My best shot probably
is a computer reinstall and try again. But I have done this same thing like
one-two months ago and had the same problem. I'm the only one knowing any
Linux here and are still learning the OS myself.. So I could have done
something wrong somewhere in the process. I'm most worried that it will
break again =)

My guess then would be that your libbboost_python was not built against
python2.5, or that your _IECore.so was not built against python2.5. You can
check this by running ldd on them and looking for the libpython line.
The changes to libglx.so and your /usr/lib/opengl folder should not have
been caused by the Cortex install - we make no attempt to change anything
along those lines. Perhaps they were changed by your package manager when
you installed other things?

Closing due to lack of feedback. Cortex tests pass for both python 2.5 and
2.6 so I believe this was caused by an inadvertent mixing of different
versions.
