I can't seem to get PyHive to work correctly. Yum reports Package cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.26-20.el7_2.x86_64 already installed and latest version.

Hope I am just missing something. Please help?

I seem to have found further information in another libsasl-related question, and the solution in Cloudera's Python-SASL GitHub.

The problem is that the sasl Python package is linked to an older version of the native library: libsasl2.so.2, which existed on RHEL/CentOS 6. On RHEL/CentOS 7, there's libsasl2.so.3, installed by cyrus-sasl-lib into /usr/lib64/.

The solution is to reinstall the sasl Python package:

pip uninstall sasl
pip install sasl
