[Matrix-SIG] ANNOUNCE: Dynamically linkable Python Gist now available

[Carlos Maltzahn]

Hmm - just tried it, it compiled and installed fine and then I get (DEC
alpha, OSF1 $4.0 464, using cc): 

foobar:Demo[0] python gistdemolow.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "gistdemolow.py", line 3, in ?
    from gist import *
  File "/home/ri/carlosm/extensions/LLNLDistribution/Graphics/Gist/Lib/gist.py", line 5, in ?
    from gistC import *
ImportError: dlopen: cannot load /home/ri/carlosm/alpha+OSF1/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gistCmodule.so

foobar:site-packages[0] file gistCmodule.so
gistCmodule.so: COFF format alpha shared library, demand paged executable
or object module not stripped - version 3.11-10

I installed Numeric in a similar fashion and it works.  Any ideas what I'm
missing?
