Import cv2 error python

Question

Whenever I attempt to import cv2, I always get this error

import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1: undefined symbol: sqlite3_column_table_name

I've already created a symbolic link and I have also already installed the libgdal-dev module from the Ubuntu Software Center. Any ideas? Thanks!

EDIT: I did as pbu suggested, and the link was created without fail for the most part. But now, this error comes up:

import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1: cannot read file data: Is a directory

Thank you all for your suggestions!

looks like the file is missing, search for it and copy to lib folder: `$locate libgdal.so` then `ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so /usr/lib ` — pbu, Jul 07 '15 at 16:14
consider accepting the answer (although it came so late), since it really solves this problem — Ciprian Tomoiagă, May 02 '18 at 11:54
