Sounds like more compiler issues on Linux. Is this a download or did you compile this?

Hi and thanks for reporting.
I'm trying to import mpi module in python2.5(kubun tu 7.04)
%python
>>>import mpi
and the above message present. I have download the module pyMPI-2.4b4.tar.tar from sourceforge.net ,extract it and install it according to README instructions(./configure, make, make check, python softload_setup. py install).The mpi.so file exist to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages directory but according to error message the MPI_Get_version has not defined.

I'm replying here so my reply doesn't cover yours. I'm hoping that one of our Linux experts (there are a couple) will pick this up. Most users on this forum are running on Windows.

hi
first install python2.5 as ./configure && make && make install
than install your pyMDI-2.4b4 as ./configure PYTHON=python2. 5 && make && make install or what ever is there in README file but configure using PYTHON variable
than from terminal run
$ python2.5
>>> import mpi

it should run

I've had the same error appear when importing the mpi module. The suggested fix did not work, any other suggestions?

search for .override file in the MPI source code, open it and search for "ignore" field, under that field write MPI_Get_version

it will be something like this
%%
ignore
......<some function name>
....
MPI_Get_version ----->>> add like this
%%

give a try

Hi I am having the same issue. I have tried to find the .override file in mpi code and I did not find any. I have the same error. I would very much appreciate if somebody would give me another possible way to try to resolve this. again. I see this error

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpi.so: undefined symbol: MPI_Get_version

after two different ways of resolving (using the above steps)

Thank you
