I am very new to Python. I installed Python in Windows and learning it. But i need to install Python on Solaris 8 to automate few things as my build environment is on Solaris. When i tried to download python 2.5 source code and tried to compile i got the error saying "configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int), 77".
Between i am also getting parse errors for few files including siginfo.h /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:74: parse error before `pthread_attr_t' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:76: parse error before `}' /usr/include/pthread.h:152: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:153: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:154: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:155: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:156: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:157: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:158: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:159: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:160: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:161: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:162: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:163: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:164: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:165: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:166: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:168: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:170: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:171: parse error before `void' /usr/include/pthread.h:172: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:172: parse error before `)' /usr/include/pthread.h:173: parse error before `void' /usr/include/pthread.h:177: parse error before `int' /usr/include/pthread.h:178: parse error before `int' /usr/include/pthread.h:183: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:183: parse error before `)' /usr/include/pthread.h:185: parse error before `const' /usr/include/pthread.h:187: parse error before `pthread_self' /usr/include/pthread.h:192: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:193: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:194: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:195: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:196: parse error before `*' /usr/include/pthread.h:197: parse error before `*' == uname -m = sun4u uname -r = 5.8 uname -s = SunOS uname -v = Generic_108528-15 /usr/bin/uname -p = sparc /bin/uname -X = System = SunOS Node = sword Release = 5.8 KernelID = Generic_108528-15 Machine = sun4u BusType = <unknown> Serial = <unknown> Users = <unknown> OEM# = 0 == Thanks a lot -Venkat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
