Hey,

Yes, I checked out that script in the past, and it gave the same options I
was using (though I don't need -export-dynamic for the linker at the
moment, and adding it doesn't fix the problem).

However, I've traced the problem to the fact that I'm using Python from a
JNI module. If I compile the same JNI module with a "main" function, and
try importing math, it actually works. I'm very puzzled. It probably has
something to do with Java and JNI.

So: Anyone using Python scripting from a JNI C library, with scripts using
..../lib-dynload libs such as math? How did you get it to work?
