Hi,

Once more I'm dealing with an unresolved problem I've been
experiencing since some time ago when building csound from CVS. I keep
getting undefined symbols errors when Python tries to import csnd. Now
i got it trying to run PartikkelExplorer:

$ python '/home/hector/Desktop/PartikkelExplorer/PartikkelExplorer.py'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hector/Desktop/PartikkelExplorer/PartikkelExplorer.py",
line 19, in <module>
    from csnd import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/csnd.py", line 7, in <module>
    import _csnd
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_csnd.so: undefined
symbol: _ZN17CsoundUtilityList5CountEv

I'm building csound using doubles, dynamic libraries and interfaces
and installing everything to /usr. The previous time I came to the
list looking for help about this Michael Gogins tried very hard to
help me but I just ran out of ideas since I'm not an expert in file
linking or in C compilation in general. I made sure there is no
previous installation of any older Csound file. I did a ldconfig, I
did set LD_CONFIG_PATH and PYTHONPATH without success. Is there
something in the building process that is failing to link csound.so
with libcsnd? Some more information:

$ nm /usr/lib/libcsnd.so.5.1 | grep _ZN17CsoundUtilityList5CountEv
0001bae0 T _ZN17CsoundUtilityList5CountEv

$ nm /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_csnd.so | grep
_ZN17CsoundUtilityList5CountEv
         U _ZN17CsoundUtilityList5CountEv

Is there a way of manually creating this link after building with
scons is finished? What would be the command for doing so? Using the
Csound packages from the Fedora repository I don't get this kind of
errors.

I'll appreciate a lot any help since this problem has been an obstacle
for me to start learning to program Csound GUIs using Python.
