Bug present in dev packages but OK in non-dev about python-gphoto2

[jim-easterbrook]

Did you install python-gphoto2 after libgphoto2? The python extension is compiled and linked with libgphoto2 when you install it, so it may not work after installing a different version (or the same version in a different place).

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm pretty sure I did, but then again I have some doubts as I have been trying to get it to work so much that I have been installing/updating very frequently. Do you have a recommendation of command to run to remove all elements, or do you just recomment to try to reinstall over current elements ?
I used this : https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater to update to latest versions
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not a frequent Ubuntu user, and rarely install from source on any system unless the library I want is not in the system repository. In your first message you say you get "no module name". I don't recognise this error message so have no idea what's failing.

After installing the latest libgphoto2 with that script does pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2 return the correct version? Does pkg-config --cflags --libs libgphoto2 show the correct location? If so, then reinstalling python-gphoto2 (with sudo pip install --force-reinstall -U gphoto2) should link to the correct version.
