Issue
I get the following error due to a missing library:
error: Failed to locate the Python library /usr/local/lib/libpython3.3m.so
I've tried installing pyside from the git HEAD as per this SO Pyside install fails (Python 2.7.4)
but still fails due to:
/usr/local/lib/libpython3.3m.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
The file /usr/local/lib/libpython3.3m.a exists on my system. Any ideas?
Solution
This almost certainly happens because your Python installation has a static library under $PREFIX/lib, but no shared libraries. That is, there is a libpython3.3m.a file, but no libpython3.3m.so file(s).
To fix this, recompile Python with the --enable-shared flag.
