OK, just install the non-shared library build.
Platform: SuSE 8.1
I'm installing python 2.3 tarball as follows:
./configure --enable-shared
make
make install
When I simply type:
% python
I get:
python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.3.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is really, really, frustrating. The file does in fact live in
/usr/local/lib.
Is that in /etc/ld.so.conf? Maybe you should set LD_LIBRARY_RUN_PATH
(or whatever it's called).
Interestingly this is outside PYTHONHOME. How do I fix this silly
problem (which the python install process should *never* let happen
in the first place).
Unclear what Python can do. If you want to install a shared library
somewhere that the system doesn't look for it by default, you have to
do something to get it to look there. I guess there's probably some
way of putting an absolute path in the executable, but that leads to
its own form of entertainment (like, I would imagine, not being able
to run the interpreter until you install it).
