Hi,

I'm new to zookeeper. I want use it to build a master-election service
for redis.
There is a python binding in the contrib/ folder. I followed all the
steps in the README,
the module installs but when I try to import zookeeper, I get this error:

ImportError: libzookeeper_mt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory.

I looked through the archives and noticed others had this problem way back.
These are the steps I took :

1) download and untar zookeeper-3.3.5
2) cd zookeeper-3.3.5/
3) ant
4) cd zookeeper-3.3.5/src/c
5) autoreconf -if
6) ./configure
7) make && make install
8) cd zookeeper-3.3.5/src/contrib/zkpython
9) ant install
If i run 'ant test' here I get no errors either.

 libzookeeper_mt.so.2 is in /usr/local/lib/

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is anybody else using the python
binding included with zookeeper-3.3.5?

Thanks
gurteshwar

Take a look at my setup instructions for zk-smoketest and see if that
helps: http://bit.ly/IRG1Ks

I am using the python bindings for zookeeper, but I'm using the ones that
are packaged with Ubuntu 11.10.  I'm guessing you don't have /usr/local/lib
on your library path.  Reading Patrick's link, I think that's
LD_LIBRARY_PATH that needs to be extended.  If you were to run

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib python

can you import zookeeper?

Hi,

Mark,

you're right, I didn't have /usr/local/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
It works now, thanks

Peter,
zk-smoketest is very handy utility, duly noted.

Thanks
