Can you provide me a basic test python csound script that I can test
with? Something that imports csound and plays a sound. Some of what
you mention above looks to me like you have multiple bits of various
csound versions installed. For example there is not a  libcsnd.so.5.1
or libcsound.so.5.1 anywhere in the csound 5.10 package. There is a
libcsound.so.5.2 and a /usr/lib64/csound/plugins/libcsnd.so file. Do
also have the csound-python rpm installed as well?
