Firstly, thank for answering.  Otherwise I wouldn't know where to turn
for help.......


I tried to run the following simple program....

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import M2Crypto

u = M2Crypto.m2urllib.URLopener()
u.open('http://www.yahoo.com')

However I got the following errror:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in ?
    import M2Crypto
  File "/home/mmedina/python2.3/site-packages/M2Crypto/__init__.py",
line 14, in ?
    import __m2crypto
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file
/home/mmedina/python2.3/site-packages/M2Crypto/__m2crypto.so: symbol
d2i_SSL_SESSION: referenced symbol not found
cengsu01:/home/mmedina/scripts/python >

However, I went back to INSTALL instructions for m2crytpo.  I saw I
forgot to run alltests.py

I ran the alltests.py and received the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "alltests.py", line 61, in ?
    from M2Crypto import Rand
  File
"/home/mmedina/crypt/m2kcrypto/m2crypto-0.16/M2Crypto/__init__.py",
line 14, in ?
    import __m2crypto
ImportError: No module named __m2crypto
cengsu01:/home/mmedina/crypt/m2kcrypto/m2crypto-0.16/tests

Can you tell me what I did not do?

Thanks in advance.
