This bug is still an issue for me, as even though I now have Python-3.3 having passed its test suite, installed and running OK, and even went so far as to 'cd /usr/bin; rm -f python; ln -s python3.3 python;' (/usr/bin/python2.7 executable still exists) all the software I now attempt to build insists on using python2 , which is built against an old glibc and has started giving anomalous results after upgrade to newer glibc - see : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648863 where I found that my python-2.7 was failing to 'from . import config' whereas the FC-14 python 2.7 got past this . So I still need to find a way of building python 2.7.1 to replace my broken old system python2 . When I tried this, doing : $ /usr/src/Python-2.7.1/configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared CXX=${CXX} CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS" (I only added the CXX= args because configure complained that while I did have $CXX set to /usr/bin/g++ , "c++" would be used ) the build failed complaining that the 'bsddb185 dl gdbm' modules could not be built; I had to change the $CPPFLAGS to contain '-I/usr/include/db4' and --libs to contain '-ldb-4.5 -lgdbm' and comment out and modify the lines in Module/Setup : #dl dlmodule.c ... #gdbm gdbmmodule.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lgdbm ... #_bsddb _bsddb.c -I$(DBINC) -L$(DBLIB) -ldb-$(DBLIBVER) and then the build succeeded , but with these errors from dlmodule : test_dl test test_dl crashed -- <type 'exceptions.SystemError'>: module dl requires sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) == sizeof(char*) My point is, if this test_dl works only in 32-bit mode, it should have failed during its build, not during test ! If it is meant to be 32-bit only, say something like : #if __LONG_MAX__ > 0xffffffff #error dlmodule only works in 32-bit mode. #endif ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
