Subject: python oldie, SWIG newbie needs help 


I've been trying all day to get a simple SWIG generated interface to a
simple (but ugly) piece of c++ code provided to us by the gov't.  I've tried
google, and every variation on the examples I can think of.  I'm really
under the gun to get this working and would appreciate someone showing me
the error of my ways.  We're running python 2.3 redhat 9 and gcc

although the code is c++, it does not use classes and the only function I
need to access is "RugCacl".

My typical error messages are shown below and the files attached.  I've
tried SWIG with and without --shadow.  If my last line of the .i file is
%include rug520.cpp, I don't get an error on import, but the RugCalc
function is undefined.

$ python rug520.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rug520.py", line 5, in ?
    import _rug520
ImportError: /home/frsells/dll/_rug520.so: undefined symbol: RugCalc


part of the c++ code is below; the whole file was bigger than the mail
handler would accept.

#include "rug520.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define LINUX

char masItemVal[108][5];

void LoadValue( char * sMdsRecord, int location, int length, char *
masItemValue ) 
{  
   for ( int i=0; i<length; i++ ) masItemValue[i] = sMdsRecord[location+i];
   masItemValue[length] = '\0';
}

int LoadRange() 

.....
#ifdef LINUX
int RugCalc( char * sMdsRecord, char * sRehabType, char * sModel, int
iQuarterlyFlag, 
			 double nCmiArray[], char * sRugHier, char *
sRugMax, int * iRugHier,
			 int * iRugMax, double * nCmiValueHier, double *
nCmiValueMax, 
			 int * iAdlSum, int * iCpsCode, char * sRugsVersion,
char * sDllVersion, 
			 int * iError )
#else

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall 
RugCalc( char * sMdsRecord, char * sRehabType, char * sModel, int
iQuarterlyFlag, 
			 double nCmiArray[], char * sRugHier, char *
sRugMax, int * iRugHier,
			 int * iRugMax, double * nCmiValueHier, double *
nCmiValueMax, 
			 int * iAdlSum, int * iCpsCode, char * sRugsVersion,
char * sDllVersion, 
			 int * iError )
#endif
