Need help porting a C++ / Python Embedded app to multiple platforms

[jpw]

I am writing a Python / C++ embed app and it need to work on 3
platforms

I have the PYTHONPATH variable set correctly and have gone back and
downloaded compiled and installed the latest Python 2.5.1 on Solaris
and Linux. adding in the --enable-shared when running the ./
configure ... file

Mac - good to go there was no need do anything except update to 2.5
and add the PYTHONPATH

Solaris 10 -
Linux - Errors occur in the same point at runtime as soon as I try to
do load a module
The load module code is as follows:

PyObject* name = PyString_FromString(moduleName.c_str());
PyObject* mModule = PyImport_Import(name);
Py_DECREF(name);

if (mModule == 0)
{
std:stringstream oss;
oss << "Failed to load module <" << moduleName << ">";
throw PythonException(oss.str());
}


both errors indicate a problem with libc.so

LINUX error stacktrace:

I don't think so. You are throwing a C++ exception, nobody is catching it,
and the program aborts. (Python exceptions are handled in a very different
way, see the Python/C API Reference)
You should investigate why you can't import the module. Is the name
correct? (You didn't check the result from PyString_FromString). Is
sys.path correct? Can you import the module from a pure Python script?
