I have encountered this problem too just now, with an up-to-date jaunty
machine.
After adding some debug messages, I get:
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was:
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0/glib/_glib.so: undefined symbol:
Py_InitModule4_64')
Error in sys.excepthook:
OK, apparently the rhythmbox shell is linking to libpython:
g...@dark-tower:ns-3-dev$ ldd /usr/bin/rhythmbox|grep python
libpython2.6.so.1.0 = /usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0
(0x7f43a477b000)
But there is something wrong:
g...@dark-tower:ns-3-dev$ objdump --dynamic-syms
Oops, never mind! Beginner's mistake, I feel stupid :P
libpython2.6.so.1.0 = /usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0
(0x7f43a477b000)
Removing the rogue python lib from /usr/local takes care of the problem.
