[Mailman-Users] HELP! Getting different Import Error: python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so: bad ELF flags value: 256

[Steve Rifkin]

For that specific problem, we re-installed the previous version (2.1) of python, 
and we do not get errors.  Installing python 2.2 yields us the error.  It's 
pretty consistant in terms of when we put on 2.2, we get the error, but when we 
put back 2.1, we're fine.  So, we're at 2.1 and most things are working... 
except for the list admin passwd authentication problem that I have submitted in 
a different e-mail.
