Because sysconfdir is explicitly set, the configure script of ELinks does not append "/elinks" to it. Thus, config.h ends up defining CONFDIR as "/etc". * When ELinks is starting up, init_python() calls PySys_AddWarnOption("error"), which makes Python behave as if python -Werror had been used: all warnings raise exceptions. Even ImportWarning, which Python normally ignores. * When ELinks is starting up, set_python_search_path() adds CONFDIR (i.e. "/etc") to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. * openSUSE has an /etc/sysconfig directory. * When /usr/lib/python2.7/site.py does "from sysconfig import get_config_var", Python first looks in the /etc/sysconfig directory, because /etc is the first item in PYTHONPATH. /etc/sysconfig however was never intended for Python and doesn't contain an __init__.py file. Python warns about that. This ImportWarning would normally be ignored but now becomes an exception because ELinks did PySys_AddWarnOption("error"). openSUSE really should change its elinks package to set --sysconfdir=/etc/elinks. The current setting makes ELinks also try to load /etc/hooks.rb and /etc/hooks.pl (as can be seen from /usr/bin/elinks in elinks-0.11.995-1.1.x86_64.rpm of openSUSE). Those file names are too generic for /etc. I'm not sure why ELinks calls PySys_AddWarnOption("error"). Perhaps it is because just writing the warnings to stderr would mess up the display. If so, ELinks should instead hook warnings.showwarning so that execution will continue after the warning. Perhaps collect all warnings to a list and then show the list in a dialog after the Python call has returned. _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
