[Pymat-users] Linking not working after compilation

[Stephan R. <ste...@tu...>]

Hi everyone,

I just tried to compile pymat and I ran into some troubles. The first thing I 
had to do was to change setup.py and comment out the following lines like 
this:

if sys.platform[:6] == 'linux2':
    matlab_dir ='/opt/matlab'
    matlab_plat = 'glnx86'
    libraries = [
        #'eng',
        #'mat',
        #'mx',
        #'ut',
        'stdc++'
        ]

After that the lib compiled and installed just fine. However, then the 
following fails:

$ python -c "import pymat"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymat/__init__.py", line 9, in ?
    from pymat import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymat/pymat.so: undefined 
symbol: mxCalloc

So it can clearly not find the mx.so library, right? Then I tried:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/matlab/extern/lib/glnx86/
$ python -c "import pymat"

with the same result as above. I am using:

Python 2.4
GCC 3.4.3
Matlab (the latest)

Regards,
Stephan
