xend crashed with ImportError in <module>()

[Todd Deshane]

just updated to the latest packages. I think this still might be a python path type problem... or similar. I remember seeing something on this previously maybe on xen-users or similar list, I will see if i can dig up a reference.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xend", line 42, in <module>
    from xen.xend.server import SrvDaemon
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xen/xend/server/SrvDaemon.py", line 20, in <module>
    import xen.lowlevel.xc
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/xen/lowlevel/xc.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4

This is the actual error in the console. I thought I was able to get past this error in the past, but can't seem to find how i did.

I thought that I had to remove some extraneous xen python libs or something similar, but can't remember or get any attempts to work.

Also, it doesn't seem that the error messages are being logged to /var/log/xen/* like they should be... Should this be a new bug or is there a fix for it already?

UPDATE: after moving /usr/lib/python/xen to /tmp it seems that this problem is fixed... I am not sure if the package comes with those libs or if it is just a problem with my setup.

I am guessing that my setup could have been messed up, I was also missing a /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp.

I am going to test on a clean install and report any bugs and update previous ones as applicable.

With a fresh install, all problems above have gone away. This bug can be closed.
