[SOLVED] Error importing hashlib with python 2.7 but not with 2.6

Error importing hashlib with python 2.7 but not with 2.6

I'm on Solaris 10 (x86).

Until now, I was using python2.6. Today, I installed python2.7 and I have a weird error occuring when importing hashlib on 2.7, but not on 2.6:

Python 2.6:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.6 -c "import hashlib"
root@myserver [PROD] #

Python 2.7:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.7 -c "import hashlib"
ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found.

I don't understand why I have this error since I'm trying the import ON THE SAME MACHINE.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Solution

The python2.7 package is dependent to the libssl1_0_0 package (openssl_1.0 runtime librairies).

I installed it, and added the /usr/local/ssl/lib directory in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environnent variable.

And now it works perfectly! :)
