[Trilinos-Users] [11.12.1] Symbol not found: _PyBool_Type (OS-X)

[Denis Davydov]

Dear all, 

we recently came across the following run-time error when trying to use
Trilinos built with python interfaces:

dyld: Symbol not found: _PyBool_Type
  Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libpytrilinos.11.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /usr/local/lib/libpytrilinos.11.dylib

In particular, the error occurs when trying to run 
unit tests of deal.II library. I must say that deal.II does not use 
PyTrilinos interfaces anyhow, yet Trilinos with python is a default 
build in Homebrew. Thus this scenario is naturally triggered.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem are much appreciated.

Kind regards,
