undefined symbol: MPI_Get_version

[bond_fedora]

I am trying to configure pyMPI. I installed mpich-1.2.4.
and ran
python softload_setup.py install

But when i run python
and import

>>import mpi

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpi.so: undefined symbol: MPI_Get_version

when I run ldd mpi.so get

pyMPI-2.4b2]# ldd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpi.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00110000)
        libpython2.5.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0 (0x00144000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0028b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x002a4000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x003fd000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x00402000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00406000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00610000)

I would very much appreciate information into this issue. Thank you.

Hi,

I almost have the exact same problem. I also configured, built, and installed pyMPI. But when I run the interpreter and try to import the new module, it screams back at me, saying:

>>> import mpi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/<username>/python-2.5.2/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpi.so: undefined symbol: MPI_Topo_test

Any ideas? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
Josh
