"undefined symbol: _Py_NoneStruct" with freeze and Numeric on Linux

[Anthony Tuininga]

I have solved this problem and the solution is to pass to the linker
-rdynamic, which tells the program to resolve symbols dynamically at
run-time.

That said, there are a couple of alternatives (that I know about) to
freeze on Linux which are (IMO) better than freeze. They are Installer
(by Gordon McMillan) and a set of routines that I have written that do
much the same thing but are somewhat simpler, do not make use of import
hooks and run on Linux, Windows, Tru64 Unix and Solaris. If anyone is
interested in the latter, let me know. If there is enough interest, I'll
make them available on our web site.
