python isk-daemon fails with ImportError: /root/isk-daemon/src/imgSeekLib/_imgdb.so: undefined symbol: SampleImage

[paul]

Hi,

I've build imgdb and isk-daemon from source on linux and I'm getting
this error:-

[root@admin src]# python isk-daemon.py
root : ERROR Warning: Unable to load the C++ extension
"imgdb.so(pyd)" module.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/isk-daemon/src/imgSeekLib/ImageDB.py", line 38, in ?

ImportError: /root/isk-daemon/src/imgSeekLib/_imgdb.so: undefined

[root@admin src]# uname -a
Linux admin.ec2 2.6.18-xenU-ec2-v1.0 #2 SMP Mon Feb 18 14:28:43 UTC

[root@admin src]# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:57:05)

(I've tried python2.5 as well). Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul.

The error about the undefined symbol at runtime refers to an
ImageMagick function. One of the following may be the cause:

1) imagemagick shared libraries are not available at runtime: were
they installed correctly?
2) did the imgdb compile (specially the linking process) process
finish without errors?
3) you seem to be running on a 64bit processor. Make sure all
development libraries (python-dev, imagemagick-dev) are for this arch.

On a related note, I'm about to prepare an EC2 image bundled with isk-
daemon on it. I'll probably get done with it before 2008 is over.

Is there any specific reason why you chose a 64bit EC2 image?
