install question

[David Gutman]

i pulled the latest tar ball from git, and did the typical
./configure, make, sudo make install

I then went to my python instance and tried to just import
openslide... but got the error below



 import openslide
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openslide/__init__.py",
line 32, in <module>
    from openslide import lowlevel
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openslide/lowlevel.py",
line 132, in <module>
    get_level_count = _func('openslide_get_level_count', c_int32, [_OpenSlide])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openslide/lowlevel.py",
line 108, in _func
    func = getattr(_lib, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 366, in __getattr__
    func = self.__getitem__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 371, in __getitem__
    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/local/lib/libopenslide.so.0: undefined symbol:
openslide_get_level_count
>>>


i am running

python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2


Also.. when I tried to pull directly using git pull ...(git clone
git://github.com/openslide/openslide.git
)  there was no ./configure script included .... the only way I could
build was by pulling the tarball directly.
