Created attachment 503946 [details] LD_DEBUG output Description of problem: When I try to embedd python into a shared library, the resulting program fails with an unresolved symbol. See also: http://bugs.python.org/issue4434 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-2.7.1-7.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ldd /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/_socketmodule.so Actual results: No dependency on libpython2.7.so Expected results: A clearly marked dependency ;). Additional info: For what it's worth, I will attach a LD log of the symbol resolving. Lots of stuff, just grep for unresolved.
The only relevant LD log for python with unresolved dependency is: /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/_socketmodule.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ValueError 6522: symbol=PyFile_DecUseCount; lookup in file=java [0] The rest is java related. (Don't know what "lookup in file=java" means in this context...) ^^^^
It doesn't matter, but that is JNA trying to load my shared lib. It follows all dependencies, but python somehow decides to load _socketmodule.so (probably because of some import) and then the symbol cannot be resolved, because _socketmodule.so does not declare where to get it.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
