ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initctrajoptpy)

[TJBetter]

Hello everyone,

I'm using ubuntu 18.04. After succesful compile, I exported the pythonpath and tried to run the python example, I got the following error

:~/Documents/openrave-installation/trajopt/src/trajopt/test$ python test_initializations.py

You can set logging level with TRAJOPT_LOG_THRESH. Valid values: FATAL ERROR WARN INFO DEBUG TRACE. Defaulting to INFO

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_initializations.py", line 5, in

File "/home/lab/Documents/openrave-installation/trajopt/trajoptpy/init.py", line 1, in
from ctrajoptpy import *
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initctrajoptpy)

I'm able to run the last 4 ctest as shown below
