Hello Darren, Your python package seems to be broken. _socket is the low level library from the socket module and is part of the python core. Or some missing C libraries that _socket.so needs Check with ldd /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so that all required libraries are there. Regards, Dan ---------- Hey All, I've just installed the python version of the rtpproxy, but it won't startup. I have followed all directions in the README file for install to the letter. The system is a Sun Netra 1400 running Solaris 9 (sparc). I am using Python v2.2 with the Optik module installed. The errors that I am receiving are: Traceback (most recent call last): File "rtpproxy.py", line 19, in ? import rtphandler File "rtphandler.py", line 8, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/asyncore.py", line 51, in ? import socket File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: No module named _socket I get this same thing if I call the script from /etc/init.d/rtpproxy start .. or just ./rtpproxy.py from the app directory. Unfortunately I am rather unfamiliar with Python so I'm stumped at the moment. I'm a perl guy... :) Any assistance would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Darren Nay - dnay at libertyisp.com
