New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: ctypes.util assumes several things of its environment which sometimes don't hold:
* It depends on objdump being in $PATH. If it isn't, it will fail to read the SONAME from a library, even if it has determined the path to it. * If it uses ldconfig (which, unlike objdumb, it assumes it knows the full path to and doesn't rely on $PATH to find), it fails to interpret the results because the regular expression it applies doesn't define any groups. The attached patch is what I used to work around these issues in one particular environment. I don't claim the fixes to be general, and the patch includes no unit tests. ---------- assignee: theller components: ctypes files: ctypes-util.patch keywords: patch messages: 69814 nosy: exarkun, theller severity: normal status: open title: ctypes.util fails to find libc in some environments versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10910/ctypes-util.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3383> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
