After linked /usr/bin/python to python3.3 : $ cd /usr/bin; rm -f python; ln -s python3.3 python; the 2.7.1 build now succeeds ! (with the patched Lib/test/test_commands.py and the 'make test' run as non-root ). This time I don't get any build errors for missing modules and don't have to edit Module/Setup . BTW, the missing modules that caused the build to fail before was : 'bsddb185 dl gdbm imageop' ; after the new ./python executable was built, it did some 'configure modules' stage which DID fail with these missing modules, but now /usr/bin/python is python3.3, it DOESN'T fail. I don't think the current state of the installed system python should be able to affect in any way the build of a new python - that to me is a fundamental, critical bug in the build system. Maybe I should open a new bug on that issue ? But yes, the issue of this specific bug is now closed - python-2.7.1 now builds OK - but PLEASE, put these lines or something like them in dlmodule.c : #if __LONG_MAX__ > 0xffffffffU /* cpp -dM builtin : __LONG_MAX__ */ #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
