Hello!
After compiling some mechanisms (.mod) and importing neuron on python, i get the following error message:
Code: Select all
In [1]: from neuron import h
NEURON -- Release 7.4 (1370:16a7055d4a86) 2015-11-09

loading membrane mechanisms from x86_64/.libs/libnrnmech.so
dlopen failed -
x86_64/.libs/libnrnmech.so: undefined symbol: nrnmpi_myid
How can i solve this?
Thansks.

Compiling mod files should produce a subdirectory called x86_64 (or i686 if the OS is 32 bits). Make sure that the py, hoc, and ses files that are used by your program are all located in the directory that contains the x86_64 subdirectory. If that is already the case, suggest deleting x86_64 and everything it contains, then compile the mod files again.

I tried it with no sucess.
That's funny because only neuron as a python module don't load the mechanisms, if i run the .hoc code it works fine.

A few questions:
(1) How did you install NEURON? (e.g. from source or from a binary? On what platform?)
(2) Do you get the same version printout if you just run nrniv?
(3) If you run, "nrngui -python" (without the quotes) and import neuron, does it work?

Hello McDougal
(1) I've installed it from the source, following the instructions given in:
https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/down ... pile_linux
(2) If I run nrniv -nopython, I get no errors
Code: Select all
nrniv -nopython

ImportError: No module named site
Py_Initialize exited. PYTHONHOME probably needs to be set correctly.
Our automatic guess based on the Python shared library location:
export PYTHONHOME=/usr/lib
did not work.
It will help to examine the output of:
nrnpyenv.sh
and set the indicated environment variables, or avoid python by adding
nopython: on
to /usr/local/nrn/share/nrn/lib/nrn.defaults (or .nrn.defaults in your $HOME directory)

What OS are you using? (distribution and version number, please)
What Python are you using--version number, and is it part of your Linux OS's standard distribution, or did you install a different Python from somewhere else?

Hi Ted,
I'm using KDE neon LTS User Edition 5.8, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I'm using python2.7, that came installed on the OS by default.
To configure neuron i used the command : ./configure --prefix=`pwd` --with-iv=$HOME/neuron/iv --with-nrnpython=/usr/bin/python2.7.
