I have installed python2.6(initially through apt-get and then uninstall and reinstalling through source) in ubuntu 12.04 (python2.7 being the default version installed).

The ldconfig -p | grep python command yields the following results

libpython2.7.so.1.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0
libpyglib-2.0-python2.7.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libpyglib-2.0-python2.7.so.0
libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0
libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so

The libpython2.6.so.1.0 seems to be missing.
This is important as i am trying to run uwsgi 1.0.3 which is throwing the following error : 

error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.6.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After going through numerous threads on the same matter such as :

Python executable not finding libpython shared library
Where we set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/python it still failed in finding the respective file

Any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

    where and how did you `LD_LIBRARY_PATH...`, also I ave python2.6 installed and there is no `libpython2.6.so.1.0`, why not use pyenv? – Padraic Cunningham Aug 26 '14 at 11:07
  • I think you should seriously consider just using the system's Python 2.7, or at least 2.6 from apt-get rather than building from source. You can sidestep these issues easily. – John Zwinck Aug 26 '14 at 11:54
  • @PadraicCunningham I tried doing the same using pyenv but to no avail – Ritesh Kumar Aug 26 '14 at 12:55
  • @JohnZwinck I'm am setting up a legacy system for some debugging and hence i would try to replicate it as of now – Ritesh Kumar Aug 26 '14 at 12:55
