[Freevo-users] freevo and pyusb [OT?]

2008-08-21 Thread Christian Lyra
Hi,

This is kind of offt-topic but I guess someone should have a clue about 
what to do.

After a upgrade to the newest freevo, and a upgrade to python 2.5 
(required by kaa/freevo), my VFD stoped to work. Freevo VFD plugin uses 
python-usb, and it´s seems to be broken in python2.5. Trying to compile 
python-usb with python2.5 gives this warning:

creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.5 -c pyusb.c -o
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/pyusb.o
pyusb.c: In function 'getBuffer':
pyusb.c:143: warning: passing argument 3 of 'PyString_AsStringAndSize' 
from
incompatible pointer type
creating build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5

This warning doesnt happens when you compile with python2.4. Googleing 
for the error I found this[1], which describes the change of using int 
indices to py_ssise_t, if I got it right. Someone knows how to fix 
this?

Hi,

Thanks for the imput, Joe, but unfortunately, (or fortunately, I don't 
know ;-) ) selinux is not activated on my box.

It seems however to be a right trouble, as starting freevo as root, it 
seems to work. What buzz me is that I did a lot of freevo install, never 
run as root, and so far, everything was OK.
So I suspect another (hidden) human bu during installation.

I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Pascal

so far I've checked the upgrade log, found a perl update very close to the 
date and so downgraded the perl, waited one day and had no success yet.
