Hi Michael, Applying the following patch to "python-2.5.2/src/setup.py" solves the problem of "dbm.so" compilation. However, running the sage still gives the same errors which should thus lie somewhere else. --- Python-2.4.4/setup.py.orig 2007-01-14 12:50:46.000000000 -0600 +++ Python-2.4.4/setup.py 2007-01-14 12:54:02.000000000 -0600 @@ -685,12 +685,12 @@ if self.compiler.find_library_file(lib_dirs, 'ndbm'): ndbm_libs = ['ndbm'] else: - ndbm_libs = [] + ndbm_libs = ['gdbm', 'gdbm_compat'] exts.append( Extension('dbm', ['dbmmodule.c'], define_macros=[('HAVE_NDBM_H',None)], libraries = ndbm_libs ) ) elif (self.compiler.find_library_file(lib_dirs, 'gdbm') - and find_file("gdbm/ndbm.h", inc_dirs, []) is not None): + and find_file("ndbm.h", inc_dirs, []) is not None): exts.append( Extension('dbm', ['dbmmodule.c'], define_macros=[('HAVE_GDBM_NDBM_H',None)], libraries = ['gdbm'] ) ) Cheers, Osman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
