Import Error: Shared object not open

[satish]

Hello all,

I have a python module generated by SWIG. When I try to import the module I
get the following error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/home/world0/SWIGTEST/overturec.py", line 4, in ?
import _overturec
ImportError: .6: shared object not open

I am sure this has got something to do with the *sys.path* . I tried editing
it in all possible ways. I am not getting rid of this error.

Can someone advise me ??

Never seen that error before.

What platform (operating system) is this? What version of Python
(probably not important, but useful to state it)?

Where is _overturec.so (or whatever the filename is)? What's your
sys.path? Have you tried running ldconfig or setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Try putting the extension shared library in the current directory and
then trying to importing it directly (import _overturec).
