[Qgis-user] After fresh compilation under Ubuntu Hardy error "Couldn't load PyQGIS"

[Nikos Alexandris]

Dear list(s), I face this "strange" error message. I say strange because
the module "qgis.core" exists and QGIS runs properly, yet without python
support. I follow always the same configuration/compilation/installation
procedure. Any ideas?

Error message(s) below.
Thank you for your time, Nikos

.

Couldn't load PyQGIS.
Python support will be disabled.
