[IMP-users] installing within python version 2.6

[jeremy adler <>]

I have tried installing the version available for linux-it goes directly into the python v2.4 folder so I copied it to the v2.6 folder. I get the following error when i try to access IMP

import IMP
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/IMP/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    _IMP = swig_import_helper()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/IMP/__init__.py", line 21, in swig_import_helper
    _mod = imp.load_module('_IMP', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: libimp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The _IMP.so is present. Is there something else im missing?

thanks

Jeremy
