I have a vexing problem and seek some input on how to fix it. Starting with Python 2.4.0, I have been unable to compile a working Python on our AIX 4.3.3 development system. I can compile a working Python 2.3.x with no problem.
The failure symptom is that Python 2.4.x fails its unit tests on test_builtin with a Segmentation fault. Turning on verbose test output in the Makefile via the '-v' flag yields the following: (Much output from passing tests elided) test_open (test.test_builtin.BuiltinTest) ... ok test_ord (test.test_builtin.BuiltinTest) ... ok test_pow (test.test_builtin.BuiltinTest) ... ok test_range (test.test_builtin.BuiltinTest) ... ok test_reduce (test.test_builtin.BuiltinTest) ... ok gmake: *** [test] Segmentation fault Any ideas on how to find/fix this problem? I'd hate to get locked into Python 2.3, but that's what will happen if I can't solve this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
