[python-sybase] Sybase python runtime error

[Steve Bremer]

When I try to execute any python programs using the "Sybase" 
python module, I receive the following error:


===
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/export/home/sybase/python/test/sybase.py", line 3, in ?
    import Sybase
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Sybase.py", line 20, in ?
    from sybasect import *
ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/bin/python: fatal: relocation error: file 
/usr/local/
lib/python2.2/site-packages/sybasect.so: symbol ct_cmd_alloc: 
referenced symbol
not found
====

However, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH does include /sybase/OCS-
12/lib.  If I execute:

ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/sybasect.so

I receive the following output:

        libsybdb.so =>   /sybase/OCS-12_0/lib/libsybdb.so
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-880/lib/libc_psr.so.1

So, it looks to me like the linker can find the Sybase library just fine 
because if I clear LD_LIBRARY_PATH before executing the 
command, I get the following instead:

        libsybdb.so =>   (file not found)
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         (file not found)


Version information:

Sybase 12.0
Solaris 8
Python 2.2.2

There were no error messages during the compile/install.  I used the 
following steps to compile/install:

python setup.py build_ext -U WANT_BULKCOPY -D WANT_THREADS
su -
python setup.py install

I found a similar post in the archives, but there was no resolution 
offered.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
