Actually, this looks like a bug in python2.7-dev, which ships broken symlinks.

[IRIE Shinsuke (irie)]

python3.2-dev has the same bug.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

csound should be fixed to use python2.7-config

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

fixed in precise

[Marcus Liebhardt (murcsack)]

Actually, I still have this bug with python3.2, i.e. a missing symlink from libpython3.2mu.so -> libpython3.2mu.so.1. Installing python3.2-dev adds this missing link. Is this supposed to work that way?

[Marcus Liebhardt (murcsack)]

Never mind. I just learned, that this is intended to be like that. Sorry for the noise.
