Python2.5 and zlib problems - optware v4 branch

[marcin.kudzia]

I have encountered a problem with the Python and zlib in the optware
v4 branch.

When trying to import symbols from zlib I get:

python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    from zlib import GZipFile
ImportError: /opt/lib/libz.so: undefined symbol: __udivsi3

I have checked the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and it uses the proper zlib library
installed with ipkg.

Does zlib-1.2.3-3 makes any difference?

I've changed zlib to set RPATH to /opt/lib.

Yep, works fine now.
Thanks for the prompt response.
