ImportError?: No module named dl }}}

and indeed, dl module is not portable on x86_64 processor, according to the documentation ( http://docs.python.org/lib/module-dl.html ) and so is disabled on this processor.

it's not portable on windows too.

Liori told me this module is only used to fix a bug in farsight. This bug is fixed upstream and will be in next release (0.1.24) so wait this release ...

It is released ;) Did you manage to test if it is now working on x86_64

farsight-0.1.24.tar.gz 22-Aug-2007

So far, it doesn't crash. I have some problem to build farsight python binding, since it need -fPIC :

$ make        
cc -fPIC `pkg-config --libs farsight-0.1` -shared farsight.o farsightmodule.o -o farsight.so
/usr/bin/ld: farsightmodule.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `farsight_functions' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
farsightmodule.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld a retourné 1 code d'état d'exécution
make: *** [farsight.so] Erreur 1

adding the option solve the problem.

I have started a voice chat with myself, and gajim silently crashed after some time, since I didn't respond :

OnRequestsignaling called, sending SignalingReady
OnRequestsignaling called, sending SignalingReady

I will not be able to test it on x86_64 before 2 or 3 weeks.

Allow use of the jingle branch in architectures without the dl module - x86_64

[ruiabreuferreira]

The attached jingle_without_dl.patch should enable the use of the jingle in x86_64 systems. I'm not sure if this works with systems other than x86_64 with python 2.5. Can someone test it?
