Hey everyone,
I'm working on a python extension wrapper around Rob Hess'
implementation of a SIFT feature detector. I'm working on a
computer-vision based project that requires interfacing with Python at
the higher layers, so I figured the best way to handle this would be
in
C (since my initial implementation in python was ungodly and slow).
I can get distutils to compile the extension and install it in the
python path, but when I go to import it I get the wonderful exception:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysift.so: undefined
symbol: _sift_features
Kenneth,
You're close but not interpreting the error quite correctly. This
isn't an error from the compiler or preprocessor, it's a library
error. Assuming this is dynamically linked, your OS is reporting that,
at runtime, it can't find the library that contains _sift_features.
Make sure that it's somewhere where your OS can find it.
