Crashes on Nautilus 3.6.3

[Donjan Rodic]

For Nautilus, python-nautilus and nautilus-compare (0.0.4) from the Ubuntu 13.04 repositories as well as nautilus-compare 0.0.5 from here, I get the following error when starting Nautilus from command line:

ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct')
Error in sys.excepthook:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct

Original exception was:
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct')

There is no context menu available.
Removing nautilus-compare gives an error-free start.

Ignore the last comment... I forgot to run ldconfig after symlinking.
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so.1
~$ sudo ldconfig
~$ nautilus
sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Works fine.
So is this something that should be fixed in nautilus-compare by also looking in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ dir?

Donjan,
Thanks for hint:
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so.1
~$ sudo ldconfig
~$ nautilus
sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I confirm that this fixed my issue:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct

hi guys

in raring ringtail 13.04 64 bit, fresh install, "compare" not appear into right click menu in nautilus, but no error into terminal

nautilus 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16
nautilus-compare 0.0.4-1
meld 1.6.1-1

meld is trouble-free

thanks

update

i have tested your hint, but /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so it doesn't exist

therefore i have typed into terminal:

~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so.1
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so
~$ sudo ldconfig
~$ nautilus

after "enter" prompt is ~$ without errors and "compare" works properly

bye

The recipe from <monds> worked, but additionally needed a reboot; ldconfig wasn't sufficient to reset the environment.
Unlike <nighttrain> I did have /usr/lib/libpython.2.7.so.1
