problem with revision 36 with dc1394_new

[Arjun]

Hi,

Firstly, I want to write in my thanks for developing this super
library for python! I obtained a branch from Tamas before this project
found its way onto launchpad, and used it for my research work. It
worked great, and I'm happy to report that a few months ago I ran the
(first ever?) working copy of pydc1394 underwater! Leading on from
that, I've decided to take the development forward.

I just bzr branched the revision 36 from launchpad, and installed it
into my development machine. The run_tests.py failed, as also did
trying to import the library in python.

On running "import pydc1394", I received the following stack trace:

>>> import pydc1394
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 371, in
__getitem__
func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: python: undefined symbol: dc1394_new

Has something fundamental changed? What should I do to get this super
library working again?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Arjun

That's amazing! Could you provide us with a link to your work, maybe a
youtube video or so. I am collecting who's using pydc1394 for what.

This looks really strange. It looks more like you do not have the
correct version of libdc1394 installed. Is it version 2.0. Can you
confirm (for example via coriander) that the camera/libdc1394 library
works as expected?
