Error when importing Aerospike

[jpedroantunes]

When trying to import Aerospike Python Client (v3.4.1) using Python 3.6.5 in a VirtualEnv (using Linux Mint 19) I'm getting this error message;

ImportError: /opt/pyenv/apisd/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aerospike.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: SSLv23_client_method

I've already tried this solution #214 and it isn't working :/

Were you able to build the C client using the steps from #214 or was that the step which failed?

When executing the command AEROSPIKE_C_HOME=$PWD DOWNLOAD_C_CLIENT=0 pip install --no-cache-dir aerospike from #214 I get this error message:

Ok. I forgot that the Python client version 3.4.1 depends on the C client version 4.3.14 . So for now, to get that to work, it's necessary to build the C client at the tagged version 4.3.14 .
e.g. From the C client directory

git checkout 4.3.14
git submodule update --init
make clean
make
AEROSPIKE_C_HOME=$PWD DOWNLOAD_C_CLIENT=0 pip install --no-cache-dir aerospike

This is a lot of steps, and we're working to make it simpler.

The next version of the Python client (3.4.2) works with the newest C client, so once that gets released on Pypi, which should be today or early next week, the solution mentioned in #214 should work.

Thanks for bringing up the issue!

Thanks! Now it worked =D

any chance to get this issue solved in a better way?
like, push 2 different versions to pip repo?
we use erogenous environments, ubuntu 18.04, arch, latest fedora to build and develop our product, this issue makes the dependency maintenance much more complicated then he need to be...
Thanks,
