Hi Reply from bugs.python.org attached. I guess sage-python should get the same patch?
This is not related to PEP 3149 failures. Ubuntu 11.04 introduced multiarch directories for the underlying shared libraries used to link to the Python extension modules. Unpatched, Python's setup.py does not add the necessary multiarch directories to the search paths, so some extensions won't build. Ubuntu 11.04's Python packages have been patched to add the correct search paths. Upstream Python 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 have also been patched to include the correct search paths, but fixed versions have not been released upstream yet. Python 2.6 won't be patched. See issue 11715 for details. Though 2.7.1 upstream also failed for me... and I still don't get how the setup.py fixes configure make installs -- I thought that was only used for python setup.py build... But here is http://bugs.python.org/issue11715 http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/bd0f73a9538e (for python 2.7) And Ubuntu 2.6 patches: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/python2.6_2.6.6-6ubuntu7.diff.gz Regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
