[CIG-MC] Compiling CitcomS (SVN) with pyre support, python bombs

[Thorsten Becker]

hi,

i'm trying to compile CitcomS with pyre enabled and, after compile,
get the error messages below when trying to start up the python
wrapped citcoms. A web search suggested that this python problem could
be fixed by using linker flags '-Xlinker -export-dynamic', this does,
however, not improve the situation.

python version is 2.6.1
compiling with gnu or intel gives same results
cluster runs linux 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 kernel

 thanks much for any help and suggestions in advance!

cheers
