So this error is driving me crazy, I've search the web multiple times, ran a few things and no results. I get the following error when using yum.

[root@texas pycurl-7.19.0]# yum update
Fatal Python error: pycurl: libcurl link-time version is older than compile-timeversion
Aborted


[root@texas pycurl-7.19.0]# rpm -qa | grep pycurl
python-pycurl-7.19.0-8.el6.i686
[root@texas pycurl-7.19.0]# rpm -qa | grep curl
curl-7.19.7-26.el6_2.4.i686
libcurl-7.19.7-26.el6_2.4.i686
python-pycurl-7.19.0-8.el6.i686
[root@texas pycurl-7.19.0]# 




[root@texas /]# locate libcurl.so
/usr/lib/libcurl.so
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.1.1


[root@texas /]# locate pycurl
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pycurl-7.19.0-py2.6.egg-info
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pycurl.so
/usr/share/doc/python-pycurl-7.19.0

I've recompiled my directadmin build with curl and no change after that either. (I already had directadmin with curl working fine before)

Any help is appreciated.

  • @Rubens thanks, did not know. When I first asked a question here somebody told me not to do that, so I took that to memory. I have accepted an answer on all my questions now. Now any help here is appreciated, lost. – Vernard Dec 30 '12 at 16:37

    Is the time on your server correct via the date command? Are you using zend? Have you run ldconfig? – Forrest Dec 30 '12 at 19:41

I have found that VMWare Toolkit caused this issue on CentOS VMs.

vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vmware-tools-libraries.conf

and add the following two lines at the top (assuming you're 64-bit):

/lib64 /usr/lib64

Save, and "ldconfig".

I just had the same issue. Someone just played with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH; yum update

or 

LD_LIBRARY_PATH='' yum update

does the trick for me.

I just had the same problem after having added a bunch of libraries to the ldconfig path. (I needed to install the RPostgreSQL in my local R install, and was missing libpq.so and some others; I happened to have a package that had all that --and more-- and simply added the libs of that package via ldconfig; that royally screwed up yum and pycurl etc.)

So, I just selected the minimal set of libs I wanted and added them to some place in /usr/local/lib/rpostgresql-depend, then added that via ldconfig. Now both that RPostgreSQL package in R and yum work.

Your problem might be a variation of this.

My error is very simple.

remove /usr/local/curl/lib/ from /etc/ld.so.conf then it's ok.

Reached here from google. So just for future viewers, if I use yum without root permission, I was getting this error. Using sudo yum fixed it. I am using CentOS 7.9.2009.
