Undefined symbol __intel_sse2_strrchr

[Ashwin_D_]

Hello,

           This is with regards to using some modules of python which were compiled with icc but python itself was compiled with gcc 4.8.2. When I tried to import this module into python I get this linking error below. Do I need to rebuild python with icc if I have python modules built with icc ?

Regards,

Ashwin.

Hi Ashwin,

__intel_sse2_strrchr is defined in libirc.so.  Please check if multiarray.so has a dependency on libirc.so with the following command.

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so

Thanks.

When I run that command ldd I get this output. Please help me to interpret what that means.    

    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff331fe000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc5a9186000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc5a8dbf000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc5a9821000)

When I recompiled python with icc the original problem went away.

We are happy to learn that it is resolved.
