Hi,

I am using the following setup:

. /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2p1/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/setup.sh export
ROOTSYS=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/releases/ROOT/5.26.00b/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/root export
PYTHONDIR=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.5.4/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PYTONDIR/bin:$PATH export PYTHONPATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONDIR/lib:$PYTHONPATH export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.5.4/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib

When I then import ROOT in Python, Python exits with a segfault:

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ROOT

Any ideas how I can fix this? Has anyone had similar problems? Is it maybe specific to this particular Python version?

cu,
