You might have seen my previous post about a problem with ATLAS not knowing how many bits my system is. There's a file 'bitwidth.py' in the top level directory of ATLAS. (i.e where spkg-install and SPKG.txt normally go). The contents of that file are:
#!/usr/bin/env import ctypes print str(8*ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_long)) It would appear 'ctypes' has not been successfully built into python. From what I can gather from a Google, this is a common problem on many platforms. http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.5/whatsincluded.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- ctypes version 1.0.3. ctypes is currently not supported on the following platforms: (older) linux-x86 build failures aix-powerpc build failures linux-ia64 build failures solaris-sparc build failures solaris-x86 build failures hpux-parisc libffi not ported to PA-RISC arch hpux-ia64 build failures win64-* as per www.python.org/sf/1545507 -------------------------------------------------------------------- A search of my python build shows it failed on mine too. Is there a workaround for this? It is used much in Sage? Perhaps this can explain some of the test failures. The data below is from a Solaris 10 SPARC, but I note that ctypes is not working on my Open Solaris PC either. Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _bsddb _hashlib _ssl bsddb185 dl gdbm imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
