Hi all,

and sorry for crossposting. My colleague have problems with Python
support in QGIS
under 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04 At QGIS startup he gets

Warning: Couldn't load Python support library: Unable to load library
/usr/lib/qgispython:
    (/usr/lib/libqgispython.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory)

and there is no libqgispython.so in /usr/lib. After creating symlink
with necessary name
ln -s /usr/lib/libqgispython.so.1.9.90  /usr/lib/qgispython.so
we get another error

Warning: Couldn't load Python support library: Unable to load library
/usr/lib/qgispython:
    (/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0: undefined symbol: forkpty, version GLIBC_2.0)

We try to export LD_PRELOAD befor running QGIS as suggested in IRC
(thanks, Gary)
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libutil.so but this don't help.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?
32-bit Ubuntu 11.04, QGIS 1.9.90 from nightly repo, all previous QGIS
versions are removed

Thanks
