Hi there. I'm trying to use python with postgresql. I decided to use psycopg to interact with the postgresql server. When installing psycopg it appeared that I needed mxDateTime. So I decided to install the mxbase package.
I received the following error message (the interesting bit seems to be at the end): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/postgresql/mxbase$ sudo python setup.py install running install running build running mx_autoconf gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include - c _configtest.c -o _configtest.o _configtest.c: In function 'main': _configtest.c:4: warning: statement with no effect gcc -pthread _configtest.o -L/usr/local/lib -o _configtest success! removing: _configtest.c _configtest.o _configtest gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -I/usr/local/ include -I/usr/include -c _configtest.c -o _configtest.o success! removing: _configtest.c _configtest.o macros to define: [('HAVE_STRPTIME', '1')] macros to undefine: [] running build_ext building extension "mx.DateTime.mxDateTime.mxDateTime" (required) building 'mx.DateTime.mxDateTime.mxDateTime' extension gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -fPIC -DUSE_FAST_GETCURRENTTIME -DHAVE_STRPTIME=1 -Imx/ DateTime/mxDateTime -I/usr/include/python2.5 -I/usr/local/include -I/ usr/include -c mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.c -o build/temp.linux- i686-2.5_ucs4/mx-DateTime-mxDateTime-mxDateTime/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/ mxDateTime.o gcc: mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/mxDateTime.c: No such file or directory gcc: no input files error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 I googled "error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1" and interestingly a lot of the results seemed to be linked with python. I can confirm that I do have gcc installed. One post seemed to suggest that I may be using too new a version of gcc. Do you think this is the problem or am I going astray somewhere else? Thank you very much in advance for any assistance, James. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
