Hi,

  I'm running Fedora Core 3, and recently I've encountered serious problems
with apps that need python to run.

 running any such app gives errors like:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhpl/iconv.so: undefined
symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_AsUTF8String

Well, all apps dont produce same error but similar errors. All undefined
symbols start with PyUnicodeUCS4.
What is wrong???

 I googled for it and couldn't find anything I could clearly understand.

 I think my installation of python (python2.3) might be broken. What is the
best way to fix this?

I'd appreciate any advice on this matter.

Regards,
AR
