I can't import and use the NIS module with Python 1.5.2. This is what it looks like trying it from the interactive prompt: # python Python 1.5.2 (#1, Nov 18 1999, 16:29:32) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux-i386 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> import nis Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: /usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/nismodule.so: undefined symbol: yperr_string I've looked at the definition of /usr/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h and yperr_string is indeed in there. I don't do much with dynamically loaded libraries, so I'm not sure where to go from here.
