Bug#846563: clang.cindex.LibclangError: libclang-4.0.so: No such file or directory.

[Ph. Marek]

Package: python-clang-4.0
Version: 1:4.0~svn286225-1
Severity: normal

Trying the "Simple example" from 
http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/07/03/parsing-c-in-python-with-clang,
I get the error message

      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/clang/cindex.py", line 2461, in create
        return Index(conf.lib.clang_createIndex(excludeDecls, 0))
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/clang/cindex.py", line 169, in __get__
        value = self.wrapped(instance)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/clang/cindex.py", line 3876, in lib
        lib = self.get_cindex_library()
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/clang/cindex.py", line 3907, in get_cindex_library
        raise LibclangError(msg)
    clang.cindex.LibclangError: libclang-4.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. To provide a path to libclang use Config.set_library_path() or Config.set_library_file().

I guess that the python library could use a bit of fine-tuning here.
