Python: Problem importing pycurl

Question

Hi All,

I am working on OpenSolaris(2009.06) OS. i recently installed the pycurl libraires using the following command:

$> python setup.py install --curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config

the installation went perfectly fine. However now when i am trying to import the pycurl library in my python program, an error is being reported

>>>import pycurl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ld.so.1: isapython2.4: fatal: libcurl.so.4: open failed: No such file or directory

I cant figure out where exactly i am going wrong. Any help...?

Thanks in advance. Shubham

Sounds like your loader doesn't know where to find the cURL library. See your OS documentation for how to specify locations to search.
