ImportError:pysmbios

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

The 0.10.6 is way, way, way too old. You need libsmbios-2.0.0 at least to use pysmbios.

What appears to be happening is that the _smbios module appears to be trying to runtime load against 0.10.6 instead of 2.0.0. I would recommend removing all smbios rpms of the older version, then ensure that your ld.so.conf has appropriate entries for the /usr/local location of the 2.0 stuff.

Hi:
  I have pysmbios 1.0.0 and smbios 2.0.0 ( there's smbios ); 
  - systeminfo.py in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysmbios/ works perfect
  - but import pysmbios bombs,
