[Mailman-Users] HELP! Getting different Import Error: python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so: bad ELF flags value: 256

[Steve Rifkin]

Anyone familiar with the error (we're running python 2.2.2 and mailman 2.08):

admin(7162): ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so: bad ELF flags value: 256

more details below.   Thanks!    Steve
