Error importing cgi module

[Sam Crow]

Hello,

having a little problem loading python modules.. here is the output
from the interactive environment notice import sys worked correctly.
when I do a search in the lib driectory for cgi i can find the modules
there as well

import sys
import cgi

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/cgi.py", line 39, in ?
import urllib
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/urllib.py", line 26, in ?
import socket
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ?
from _socket import *
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.0: symbol __eprintf: referenced symbol not
found

any thoughts?

Thank you,
Sam Crow

Your Python is built with SSL support and the wrong SSL libraries are
picked up. If you got your Python binaries elsewhere, that may be the
problem. You can build Python yourself in this case.

Or maybe you installed a second OpenSSL yourself recently in
/usr/local/lib and this is causing you problems now?

That should have been: "If you've got your Python binaries *from*
elsewhere ..."
