Mailing List Archive: PIL and cgi link problem

Hi,

We are experiencing a strange problem with the
PIL library.
We have compiled it and installed it succesfully
into our Python environment (linux Redhat 5.2).
The strange thing is that it works fine when
imported in Python from a shell.

We want to use the library from a python cgi
script. Here we encounter a strange problem with
the Image module. The cgi script tries to import
it in response to a web-query. but it failes with
an ImportError Exception: _imaging C module is
not installed. further investigation of the
exception showed the following (link) error:
undefined symbol PyExc_IOError

Does anybody has an idea?.

We are using Python 1.5.1 and LibImaging 1.0b1

Thanx in advance,

Robbert

Can you use it from command-line programs?

What OS? Compiler?
For Linux, sometimes it need to export symbols from main module (-Wl,-E
compiler option)...
