RuntimeError: could not load typelib

Binary package hint: ldtp

After a simple 'import ldtp', I get these errors:

I don't see this issue with my latest ldtp 2.0.4 package from 10.04 repository. I have no clues why this is happening.

Thanks

[Nagappan Alagappan (nagappan)]

Michael, can you try accerciser package and see whether its working ?

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Huh. I tried import ldtp again today. Works on my machine. *But* doesn't work inside a 'jhbuild shell' if you are familiar. I think I was in one of those shells when I reported this.

Not sure why it wouldn't work then. But maybe this is INVALID?

[Nagappan Alagappan (nagappan)]

Eitan, do you guess what could cause this to fail in jhbuild environment ?

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

Michael, can you try with the version in my PPA? ppa:apulido/ppa

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

No, Ara, still no luck with your PPA packages.

ldtp2.0.6 with Ubuntu10.0.4, when ldtp work for one more hours, it'll report error "socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused", it's a critical bug, hope it can be fixed ASAP.

[Nagappan Alagappan (nagappan)]

We at VMware run the test for continuous 10 hours and have never faced such issue. We run the test in Ubuntu 9.10/10.04, openSUSE 11.2, Fedora 12, RHEL6 beta, SLED 11.

Thanks
