Hi, I´m posting the solution for this myself. What´s the situation is here: the module __moddi3 is in libgcc.a Compiler used: gcc Linker used: ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris/ELF (3.0) the linker does not know the path to libgcc, so simply using -lgcc does not help. I created a symlink in /lib to libgcc.a. Now it works. thanks for the tips though Joachim Schmitz

Hi,

I'm trying to install the MySQL-DA under Solaris 2.6. After successfully compiling and linking, doing:

...

python Python 1.5.2 (#6, Jun 4 1999, 08:31:43) [GCC 2.8.1] on sunos5 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam

...

...

import MySQL Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file ./MySQLmodule.so: symbol __moddi3: referenced symbol not found

I tried to use the linker-option -lgcc, but that results in a linker error.

I put this already on the collector.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Joachim Schmitz
