Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Build Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: G�ran Uddeborg (goeran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Improve dynamic linking support on AIX Initial Comment: Python 2.4.3 does not produce a shared python library on AIX even with the --enable-shared flag. The addition of the LDLIBRARY and RUNSHARED variables in the patch should fix this. If I create my own version of the Python engine in a shared library, that version is not able to load any modules. My understanding is that this is because the import directives used when building the modules say that symbols should come from ".", which means the main program. In the patch I replace that with "..", which should look both in the main program and loaded shared libraries. Strictly speaking you could argue that these are two different problems, and could motivate two separate reports. But since they are closely related, both having to do with dynamic linking on AIX, I submit them together. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1542544&group_id=5470
