[SOLVED] python-vpython seems to be broken

Hi,

I've installed python-vpython 3.2.9-1, but everytime I want to import it I get the following error:

[revelation@localhost ~]$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 29 2006, 22:23:40)
[GCC 4.1.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from visual import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/visual/__init__.py", line 15, in ?
    import array_backend
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/visual/array_backend.py", line 1, in ?
    import cvisual
ImportError: libboost_python-gcc-1_33_1.so.1.33.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>>

Does anyone know how to solve that?

It is not our policy to delete things like this.  It is, in fact, highly helpful to add your solution (as detto said) so that others, with the same problem, can search the forums and find a solution.
You never know, your solution may help someone 6 months from now.

Let me guess: you added symlinks to get back the _gcc names in boost or rebuilt the package? If so, this is a bug in the python-vpython package and needs to get solved in our repositories.

No, I just uninstalled and reinstalled the package - everything is working fine now... Do not ask me what was wrong with the first installation.
