Bug#664035: libtrilinos: missing python symbols when compiling deal.II examples

[Kevin Mitchell]

Package: libtrilinos
Version: 10.4.0.dfsg-1
Severity: normal

As it stands this bug makes deal.II unusuable.
When trying to compile the /usr/share/doc/deal.ii-examples/step-1 from deal.ii-examples, 
I get a long list of errors about missing python symbols referenced in /usr/lib/libtrilinos_pytrilinos.so

$ make
Makefile:140: Makefile.dep: No such file or directory
============================ Remaking Makefile.dep
==============optimized===== step-1.cc  ->  step-1.o
============================ Linking step-1
/usr/lib/libtrilinos_pytrilinos.so: undefined reference to `PyType_IsSubtype'
/usr/lib/libtrilinos_pytrilinos.so: undefined reference to `PyExc_RuntimeError'
...
/usr/lib/libtrilinos_pytrilinos.so: undefined reference to `PyList_New'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [step-1] Error 1

If however I add -lpython2.7 to the compile command, the compilation goes through, but I get segfault when I run the exectuable.

My guess would be that /usr/lib/libtrilinos_pytrilinos.so (as installed from libtrilinos-dev) needs to be recompiled with python2.7.
I gather this might be somewhat of a problem from my inability to install the actual package python-libtrilinos which conflicts with python2.7.
