Dear all,

In order to do something educational with the Raspberry and to use it as a cool media center with xbmc installed, I thought I would try to compile xbmc myself.
The good news is that I have come a long way, and I actually succeeded getting xbmc to run.
However the bad news is, that there seems to be something wrong with the python dependency on my raspberry which causes the program to crash, with the following error:
./xbmc.bin: symbol lookup error: ./xbmc.bin: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8

I read on the net that this caused by python being compiled for 2 or 4byte unicode character encoding, but I have no idea on how to fix it.
I have tried installing different versions of libpython with apt-get, but that did not work.

Anybody any idea what I should do?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
gerben
