I'm using the Python module Theano on a server. It is not pre-installed on there so I installed it in my home folder along with some other modules that weren't on the server. I get the following error when I "import theano" in IPython.
Problem occurred during compilation with the command line below: g++ -shared -g -march=core2 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -msse4.2 --param l1-cache-size=32 --param l1-cache-line-size=64 --param l2-cache-size=12288 -mtune=generic -D NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API=NPY_1_7_API_VERSION -D NPY_ARRAY_ENSURECOPY=NPY_ENSURECOPY -D NPY_ARRAY_ALIGNED=NPY_ALIGNED -D NPY_ARRAY_WRITEABLE=NPY_WRITEABLE -D NPY_ARRAY_UPDATE_ALL=NPY_UPDATE_ALL -D NPY_ARRAY_C_CONTIGUOUS=NPY_C_CONTIGUOUS -D NPY_ARRAY_F_CONTIGUOUS=NPY_F_CONTIGUOUS -m64 -fPIC -I/apps/libs/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/home/ext_sxc/include/python2.7 -o /home/ext_sxc/.theano/compiledir_Linux-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64-x86_64-with-centos-6.5-Final-x86_64-2.7.3-64/lazylinker_ext/lazylinker_ext.so /home/ext_sxc/.theano/compiledir_Linux-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64-x86_64-with-centos-6.5-Final-x86_64-2.7.3-64/lazylinker_ext/mod.cpp -L/home/ext_sxc/lib -lpython2.7 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.7 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exception Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-1-3397704bd624> in <module>() ----> 1 import theano /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/__init__.pyc in <module>() 53 object2, utils 54 ---> 55 from theano.compile import \ 56 SymbolicInput, In, \ 57 SymbolicOutput, Out, \ /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/compile/__init__.py in <module>() 4 ViewOp, view_op, register_view_op_c_code) 5 ----> 6 from theano.compile.function_module import * 7 8 from theano.compile.mode import * /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/compile/function_module.py in <module>() 16 from theano import gof 17 from theano.gof.python25 import partial ---> 18 import theano.compile.mode 19 from theano.compile.io import In, SymbolicInput, SymbolicInputKit, SymbolicOutput 20 from theano.compile.ops import deep_copy_op, view_op /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/compile/mode.py in <module>() 9 import theano 10 from theano import gof ---> 11 import theano.gof.vm 12 from theano.configparser import config, AddConfigVar, StrParam 13 from theano.compile.ops import register_view_op_c_code, _output_guard /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/gof/vm.py in <module>() 514 515 try: --> 516 import lazylinker_c 517 518 class CVM(lazylinker_c.CLazyLinker, VM): /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/gof/lazylinker_c.py in <module>() 84 args = cmodule.GCC_compiler.compile_args() 85 cmodule.GCC_compiler.compile_str(dirname, code, location=loc, ---> 86 preargs=args) 87 # Save version into the __init__.py file. 88 init_py = os.path.join(loc, '__init__.py') /home/ext_sxc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Theano-0.6.0-py2.7.egg/theano/gof/cmodule.pyc in compile_str(module_name, src_code, location, include_dirs, lib_dirs, libs, preargs, py_module) 1969 # difficult to read. 1970 raise Exception('Compilation failed (return status=%s): %s' % -> 1971 (status, compile_stderr.replace('\n', '.

How can I fix the above error?
Another thing is that whenever I run a Python job on the server, I first do
$ module load libs/python/2.7.3
before executing my Python script and the server has libpython2.6.so in its /usr/lib64 folder. I think this is related to the problem.
