[pygsl-discuss] cannot find GSL

[Romanas P. <r....@st...>]

Hello Guys

I've been trying to use pygsl but unsuccessfuly so far. It seems it does not find gsl libraries, which however exist on

--------------------------------------
ssrc@linux-pvpg:/usr/local/lib> ls
libgsl.a       libgslcblas.la  libgslcblas.so.0      libgsl.la  libgsl.so.0       pkgconfig
libgslcblas.a  libgslcblas.so  libgslcblas.so.0.0.0  libgsl.so  libgsl.so.0.10.0  X11
ssrc@linux-pvpg:/usr/local/lib>
--------------------------------------


The message I get while running run_test.py is:

--------------------------------------
# python run_test.py

Did you try to import pygsl in the build directory?

Well, that does not work out of the box. If you want to do that, please
use
      python setup.py build_ext -i
to add the necessary extension module in the local pygsl/ directory!

Please read the README first! Any further questions or missing information
please post to pyg...@li...!

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run_test.py", line 69, in <module>
    run()
  File "run_test.py", line 47, in run
    import pygsl
  File "/usr/local/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pygsl/__init__.py", line 57, in <module>
    import pygsl.init
ImportError: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

--------------------------------------

I've tried to specify gsl-prefix in 'python setup.py --gsl-prefix='usr/local' build', it did not help. Then I specified gsl-config in a similar way - the same result, even the modification of 'pygsl-0.9.4/gsl_dist/gsl_extension.py' by explicitely pointing out to searched paths made no difference.

Any suggestion how to resolve the problem?

Romanas

PS: gsl-config output:
