CentOS 5.3 sqlite library problem

[lbl-dude]

When trying to get the django server up, this error is put into the master.err log and the server fails to load:

File "/data/OMERO/omero_dist/lib/python/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 26, in ?
raise ImproperlyConfigured, "Error loading %s module: %s" % (module, e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading pysqlite2 module: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysqlite2/_sqlite.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Does anyone know if this is a problem with the pysqlite distribution, or might I have a conflicting library on my system somewhere?

Thanks.

To my knowledge there are no problems with the packages. What's the output of the following three commands:

Code: Select all

uname -an
file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysqlite2/_sqlite.so
ldd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysqlite2/_sqlite.so

Okay. That implies you have a 64-bit (x86_64) version of Python but somehow have a 32-bit version of pysqlite2. Did you install it via easy_install or via an RPM?

[lbl-dude]

Another person did the OS install, and I am just tasked with installing OMERO. Should I install a different version of python or just get and rpm of pysqlite2?

[lbl-dude]

I reinstalled the sqlite library with a 64 bit version from an rpm and it works fine now.

Good to hear.
