Hi folks,
Ran 'opkg upgrade' on the Jan 11th rootfs I obtained from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ and lo and behold the python 2.6 autobuild stuff had been added! I use paramiko on my embedded system (SSH2 library for python) and thought I would try to install it on this new FS. Unfortunately, using the python 'easy_install' method did not work - paramiko requires a cryptography library that likes to compile its extensions from the C code. GCC fails on the linking stage when invoked through 'easy_install' - however, if anyone is using python 2.6 and wants to use the setup.py build functionality to invoke Angstrom's gcc version against libpython, all you need to do is place a symlink in /usr/lib from libpython2.6.so.1.0 to libpython2.6.so Seems that when opkg installed that library it did not create the requisite symlink. Hope this is useful for folks to know. ~Akram. _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list Angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
