Hello, I'm trying to build Python 2.5.1 on Solaris 9 with the Sun WorkShop 6 compiler, but it is failing to build the ctypes extension. Can anyone tell me whether NumPy 1.1 (or 1.04) can work without ctypes, please? What about SciPy 0.6? Maybe that's a silly question, but I can't see how to make it compile so I'm a bit stuck!
I have been through one previous iteration where I tried building NumPy 1.0.4 after ignoring the ctypes problem and it produces undefined symbol errors for various math functions like "exp" and "sqrt". So perhaps that answers my question ... but I'm not 100% clear about it being due to the ctypes problem so I'd be grateful if someone can confirm that. In fact, ctypes is not listed under NumPy "prerequisites" (which, incidentally, is mistyped) in the FAQ and I believe it wasn't part of Python either until 2.5. Thanks, James. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
