Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Summerfield (mnsummerfield) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Fails to install on Fedora Core 5 Initial Comment: I am using an up-to-date version of Fedora Core 5. : gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1) configure I ran ./configure --prefix=/home/mark/opt/python25 and this ran without problems. Makefile I hand edited the Makefile to add -fwrapv to the BASECFLAGS as per the README file since I don't know how to add flags using configure. make make worked fine make test This reported some failures, but nothing that seems significant: ... test_zipfile test_zipfile64 test_zipfile64 skipped -- test requires loads of disk-space bytes and a long time to run test_zipimport test_zlib 281 tests OK. 38 tests skipped: test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_dbm test_gdbm test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_scriptpackages test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sqlite test_startfile test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64 3 skips unexpected on linux2: test_dbm test_gdbm test_bsddb make install This failed. ... Compiling /home/mark/opt/python25/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py ... make: *** [libinstall] Error 1 Just in case for some reason a dbm is needed I installed gdbm-devel and retried but the installation still failed in the same place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Summerfield (mnsummerfield) Date: 2006-09-21 07:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1602435 I didn't run out of disk space, I've 28GB free... I did try several times, (including make clean, rerun configure, make, make tests, and make install), and yes, it always failed in the same place. And just to make really sure, I have just tried the whole process again. I deleted my Python-2.5 directory, unpacked the whole thing again, ran configure, added -fwrapv to the Makefile, and ran make and make test. This time make test had only one "unexpected" skipped test: ... test_zipfile test_zipfile64 test_zipfile64 skipped -- test requires loads of disk-space bytes and a long time to run test_zipimport test_zlib 283 tests OK. 36 tests skipped: test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_scriptpackages test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sqlite test_startfile test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64 1 skip unexpected on linux2: test_bsddb Next I ran make install... and it worked! Maybe there's some dependency on having a dbm of some sort? Anyway, sorry for the false alarm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-09-20 17:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 This seems weird. Did you run out of disk space? Is the error reproducible (ie, fail in the same place each time)? Can you debug this further? The tests do a make install and I don't recall seeing this error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1562171&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
