ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: relocation error: file /mnt/disk2/homes/wklinik/Zope-2.2.2/lib/python/ExtensionClass.so: symbol PyImport_ImportModule: referenced symbol not found I looks as though Python would not export its symbols to dynamically loaded objects.

In earlier Solaris versions, this was the default behaviour. Other systems require a special linker option to make the symbols visible. Maybe, Solaris 8 does now require special actions, too. On Linux, the option is called "-export-dynamic". Maybe, you consult you linker manual. Dieter
