bibus was working, but i didn't use it for about 2 months. Today i wanted to start it again, but it crashes with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/bibus/bibus.py", line 21, in <module> import os, sys, gettext, locale, ConfigParser, cPickle File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/gettext.py", line 49, in <module> import locale, copy, os, re, struct, sys File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/locale.py", line 202, in <module> import re, operator ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/operator.so: undefined symbol: _PyUnicodeUCS4_AsDefaultEncodedString I tried to recompile my actually installed version (1.4.3.2-r1) as well as the two other version currently in portage (1.4.3.1 and 1.5_rc1), but the error is the same in all cases. I also recompiled wxpython (installed was 2.6.4.0-r2) and switched versions (update to 2.8.10.1), but this doesn't solve the problem, too. Additionally i recompiled mysql-python and python itself (currently 2.6.2-r1), but still no change.

Thanks, without this hint I wouldn't notice that my settings are different than the default. Your problem is ucs2 useflag of dev-lang/python. If you changed it recently, you must run python-updater (check the very old note in ChangeLog), as changing it breaks binary extensions of python.
Currently my python-2.6.2-r1 is using the following use flags: berkdb gdbm ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads tk xml -build -doc -elibc_uclibc -examples -ipv6 -ucs2 -wininst I didn't change this USE flag recently, in fact i didn't notice it at all until today. Further investigation reveals that the previous version of python (2.5) has had this USE flag internally and in 2.6 it gets visible, but i didn't change anything and i don't know what it was and what it should be. After upgrading to python-2.6 i ran python-updater. Today Gentoo dyn/use-index tells me: "ucs2: Enable byte size 2 unicode (DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING)"
Are you using the binary openoffice or did you compile it from source? Thanks, Markus
I'm currently using app-office/openoffice-bin-3.1.1
I can reproduce your problem also with openoffice-bin. Somehow I have the "feeling" that the problem is with the -bin version and some incompatibility therein but I can't be certain. Any chance that you compile the source version and see if the issue goes away? Thanks, Markus
I cannot see a direct connection of this issue with OpenOffice. I know about OO integration of bibus, even if I never used it, but I don't see any connection to this error. I always had openoffice-bin installed and bibus worked without any problem. To me it looks like a change regarding python. It would be possible to compile OO from source, but I would rather look for more hints pointing to a connection with it before taking this time intensive way. Or to say it with your words: I have a different "feeling" ;-)
Well, I tried it and bibus works fine with the compiled version of openoffice but crashes with the above error when using openoffice-bin. Hence, there is likely some encoding issue that might perhaps have cropped up with python-2.6 - not sure. Presently, I am not sure how and if this can be fixed. However, if you're willing to compile openoffice from source you should probably be good to go. If you know of any possible fixes please let us know. Thanks, Markus
I close this bug, as there was no response for some time. If the problem still exists, please reopen.
Just tried it again today, but the problem still persists with app-office/openoffice-bin-3.2.0 installed. Afterwards I replaced app-office/openoffice-bin by app-office/openoffice and this resolves the problem for me, too, but I don't think this is a real solution as many people are not able or not willing to build OpenOffice on their own. I still have no clue how rebuilding OpenOffice and the python error are connected to each other.
First of all, does this still happens with bibu-1.5.0? So I talk to the python lead. He wants to know two things: Why was /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/operator.so and not /usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload/operator.so used as you are on 64bit? Second, which command excactly did you execute?
Could you please add following line in the beginning of /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bibus/bibus.py and past the terminal output, when starting bibus? import sys; print(sys.executable); print(sys.path)
I added version 1.5.1, which claims to fix incompatibilities with <ooo-3.1. Please test.
I uninstalled openoffice, reinstalled openoffice-bin and recompiled bibus-1.5.0 same result as in the original posting: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bibus/bibus.py", line 21, in <module> import os, sys, gettext, locale, ConfigParser, csv File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/gettext.py", line 49, in <module> import locale, copy, os, re, struct, sys File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/locale.py", line 202, in <module> import re, operator ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/operator.so: undefined symbol: _PyUnicodeUCS4_AsDefaultEncodedString I don't know why the mentioned path is used, but quickly investigating the thing reveals that /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64. When starting bibus I just type "bibus" nothing else. Output of the modified bibus.py (1.5.0) is: /usr/bin/python2.6 ['/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/bibus', '/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program', '/usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/lib64/portage/pym'] Updated bibus from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 and trying to start again gives exactly the same error message as above.
Post the output of: python2.6 -c 'import operator' emerge -ptv dev-lang/python:2.6 Also reinstall dev-lang/python:2.6 and test bibus again.
I can reproduce this problem. Should we restrict the dep to compiled ooo?
python2.6 -c 'import operator' gives no ouput, neither as root nor as user emerge -ptv dev-lang/python:2.6 says: [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r2 USE="berkdb gdbm ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads tk (wide-unicode) xml -build -doc -examples -ipv6 -wininst" 10,903 kB Re-installed python-2.6.5-r2 and bibus-1.5.1, but the problem still remains the same. Additional test: If I install bibus with --nodeps and there is no OpenOffice at all the program starts without any error message. Installing openoffice-bin afterwards leads to the error messages on startup again. The program is also useful as a simple literature database or used with Lyx if there is no installed OpenOffice, but it depends on openoffice-bin even if this is not nessesary. Therefore there should be no strict openoffice dependency, but a USE-flag which makes bibus depend on openoffice (not openoffice-bin until the problem is solved). This solves problems for people not using openoffice, but the problem remains that you cannot have bibus and openoffice-bin installed in parallel.
Does the problem occur after renaming "/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/libpython2.6.so.1.0"?
If i rename the requested file the error when starting bibus changes to the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bibus/bibus.py", line 43, in <module> import wx File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module> from wx._core import * File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module> import _core_ ImportError: /usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/ure-link/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0)
I suggest to change dependency on virtual/ooo to app-office/openoffice until this bug is fixed.
(In reply to comment #19) This change has been implemented.
fixed long ago.
