Long time Noel,

it seems like your python path might not be getting set accordingly try
using the python shell and setting your PYTHON to where ever you installed
quick fix to debug

Example:

$ python
>> import sys
>> print sys.path
>> sys.path.append("quickfixpath")
>> import quickfix

Hello Friends:

I have an issue with compiling QuickFix v1.13.3 with Python 2.7 support on
CentOS6 and Fedora 18 (I tried it on both).
I don't think my issue is O/S related to be honest (as I'll explain).

FYI: I'll pose my question below, but a neater version of it can be found
on StackOverflow.Com
here (easier on the eyes):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15860120/issue-compiling-quickfix-v1-13-3-with-python-2-7-on-centos6-and-fedora-18

Here is the sequence of steps I performed, which will show the issue:

user$ ./configure
--with-python=/home/user/APPS.d/ENTHOUGHT-PYTHON-IDE.d/x86_64.d/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86_64/include/python2.7
user$ make
user$ sudo make install

So far so good above. (Well, actually there are a lot of warnings during
the "make" step, but it does eventually succeed.
So next lets try to import a main module in python to see how things work.
We immediately see a problem:

user$ python -c "import quickfix"  # Lets test.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/nmvega/APPS.d/ENTHOUGHT-PYTHON-IDE.d/x86_64.d/latest/lib/python2.7/site-packages/quickfix.py",
line 7, in <module>
import _quickfix
ImportError: No module named _quickfix

As you can see, python is saying that _quickfix does not exit.
Below are the Python related files that were installed by the "sudo make
install" step. I don't see _quicklib (although I do see a _quicklib.so -
not sure if that's related).

As a parenthetical note, also note that the following installed symlinks
(during "sudo make install" step) are broken links; meaning that the file
pointed to by the arrow (->) doesn't exist, but the link was made to point
to that anyway. Seems like an additional problem with "make install".

o /home/user/APPS.d/ENTHOUGHT-PYTHON-IDE.d/x86_64.d/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86_64/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_quickfix.so
    -> /usr/local/lib/python/_quickfix.so  (This symlink is broken).

o /home/user/APPS.d/ENTHOUGHT-PYTHON-IDE.d/x86_64.d/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86_64/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_quickfix.dylib
    -> /usr/local/lib/python/_quickfix.dylib (This symkink is broken, too).

In summary, I think the problems above indicate something wrong with any or
all of "configure", "make" & "make install". Then again, I could be missing
something, too.

Any ideas what is happening, and how to fix this. I know people have
successfully compiled QuickFix with Python support

Thank you very much,
NMV
