[ome-users] ERROR: Could not import omero.cli! (/opt/Ice-3.5.1/python/IcePy.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_AsUTF8String

[Karen M. Fernsler]

Hi, 

I'm a bit stuck installing OMERO (5.2) here on Centos 6.5, python 2.7.11 and Ice 3.5.1 (we're also stuck at this revision of the OS at the moment).  I've been following http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.2/sysadmins/unix/server-centos6.html, and made it to the "Install OMERO.server" section.  When executing:

"OMERO.server/bin/omero config set omero.data.dir "$OMERO_DATA_DIR",  the output is:

********************************************************************************

        ERROR: Could not import omero.cli! (/opt/Ice-3.5.1/python/IcePy.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_AsUTF8String)

        This means that your installation is incomplete. Contact
        the OME mailing lists for more information:

        If you are building from source, please supply the build log

        downloaded a distribution, please provide which link you

What are we missing?  Can this be worked around?

thanks,
