python linking to dl and other libs failed

[jxj988]

hello,
i trying to build a gem5 simulator with python v2.7.3 and on the final linking stage i get the following error

/usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a(dynload_shlib.o): In function `_PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc':
/usr/local/src/Apps/Python-2.7.3/Python/dynload_shlib.c:94: undefined reference to `dlsym'

/usr/local/src/Apps/Python-2.7.3/./Modules/posixmodule.c:3816: undefined reference to `forkpty'


i'm using a scons to build the simulator and i can't change the signals to the gcc to include -ldl library and etc..

i've also tried to change the PATH to look in the python dir first without any luck.

any idea on how to fix this ?

additional info :
x64 PC ubuntu 64 -12.04
python2.7.3

Hey buddy, I am facing the same problem. Did you solve this problem btw? please help.

I had the same problem with EPD. I solved it by adding the flags -ldl -lutil to the linker.
