Runtime failure of PyV8 v0.8 with v8 trunk@r3837

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am trying to use PyV8 on Linux and Mac OS X. The build is ok but the 
following error occurs (on both platforms) while importing PyV8 in python.

$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul  7 2009, 23:51:51) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PyV8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "PyV8.py", line 8, in <module>
    import _PyV8
ImportError: dlopen(./_PyV8.so, 2): Symbol not found:

  Expected in: flat namespace

Both platforms show similar error messages:

Mac OS X 10.6.2 (with 64 bits Python)

Did you compile and link v8 and pyv8 with x64 mode? It seems the symbol of 
RegisteredExtension::first_extension doesn't exists in the libv8.a?

On the other hand, could you try build the PyV8 from SVN trunk, because I 
remember the developing version has fixed some Mac OS X issues.

Thanks

Thank you. I have compiled both v8 and pyv8 in 64 bits (and set the apple 
specific -arch x86_64 gcc 
flag). I read the symbols in the libv8.dylib using nm and it has the missing 
symbol. I have tried the pyv8 
trunk too, but the build fails in related to AST.

In addition, I have tried it on a PC running ubuntu and the same error 
occurred.

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce your issue at this time, because I'm on vacation 
in two 
weeks, so I haven't x64 environment :S

Could you try to link v8 as static library?

It seems be a link issue, pyv8 suggest to static link with v8 library.
