I can't reproduce any problem with the linker on this build... can you show the 
full output? It seems like there's some output missing when compared against 
what I see on my system. What shell are you using? 

What about the parameters in 

gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.5/psutil/_psutil_linux.o 
-L/usr/lib -lpython2.5 -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.5/_psutil_linux.so

Does this look right to you? i.e. do you have the python2.5 libs installed and 
should it be pointing to /usr/lib ? Mine looks different here (albeit with 
Python 2.4): 

gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/psutil/_psutil_linux.o -o 
build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/_psutil_linux.so

It is ok now. It seems like it is an config problem at the OS level. 

I reinstalled a fresh copy of Fedora 10, everything just works.
