[Numpy-discussion] import numpy fails with multiarray.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode

[G]

Hello,
I have installed the svn version of numpy. I have deleted all previous versions
of  and files related to numpy prior to installing. I also have tried
reinstalling python from source. Regardless, when I try import numpy, I get the
following:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 23 2008, 23:54:29)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2

    import multiarray
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so:

undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode


I also tried compiling python using ./configure --enable-unicode=ucs4 
with no luck.
I had python and numpy all working well but then some file got corrupted so I
was forced to reinstall, and I have not yet been able to get things working
again after two days of attempts.

Thank you,
G
