Got a pycurl error when startup miro on openSUSE 11.4

Hi,

I installed miro from PackMan :: Startseite repository with zypper.

When I start up miro from terminal, I got below errors:

$miro
Fatal Python error: pycurl: libcurl link-time version is older than compile-time version
ipv6 is sucking wind, so we’re switching to ipv4./usr/bin/miro: line 27: 5859 Aborted miro.real “$@”

I don’t know what’s this meaning. So, I hope I can get help here. Thanks!

My system is openSUSE 11.4 x86_64 KDE 4.6.3 .

Solved, I downgraded the package python-curl , then it’s ok!

I’m having a similar problem. I have upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 using zypper dup. Currently I have the following setup:


# uname -a
Linux spatula 2.6.37.6-0.5-default #1 SMP 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# rpm -qa |grep python-curl
python-curl-7.19.0-6.4.x86_64

# rpm -qa |grep libcurl*
libcurl4-7.21.2-9.1.x86_64
libcurl4-32bit-7.21.2-9.1.x86_64
libcurl-devel-7.21.2-9.1.x86_64

But I get the following error:


# python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Aug 07 2010, 16:54:59) [GCC] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pycurl
Fatal Python error: pycurl: libcurl link-time version is older than compile-time version
Aborted

I have done a fresh install of 11.4 on a different machine, and that is OK. I am thinking that something was left behind on the upgrade, but I can’t see what, installing an older version of python-curl did not work, and a “zypper update” says there is nothing to do.

Karl.

I cannot help you in a direct way since I do not use python-curl and my 11.4
shows no error, but the following link can possibly help you to diagnose the problem by
identifying the offending shared library

Hello Martin,

Thanks for that, it helped enormously, this file needed deleting: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

Thanks again
Karl.
