Hi,

I can reproduct this problem even when I build from source. To do that I
just activate KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON during compilation and I face the
same issue.
I imagine that the issue is somewhere on links options ...
I found 2 workarrounds:
- Disable this option
- force loading of python2.7 on single_top.cpp as on the attached patch
 =>This sad option fix the issue on my computer but I don't know if
there is some other side effects...

I propose to add this small patch on the ppa. It will apply by the build
process.

It's ok ?

Hi,
since revision 4757, pcbnew from this ppa crashes on start. Error
messages suggest that libpython was not loaded before. Starting kicad
with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so kicad" indeed solves the
problem. When i build from source, pcbnew works without this, so i think
it's related to your build. Though it is strange that ldd doesn't list
libpython neither for kicad/pcbnew built from source nor for fro them
built from you.  Could you please have a look?
Thanks
Roger John
