I'm bumping up against a hard error in the test suite and unsure how to proceed.
I'm on a Windows 2000 platform (usually, but not always, in a Cygwin prompt window), PyTables installed from binary. I've run the test suite from both the Cygwin prompt and the DOS prompt, and get results different only where one would expect (timestamps, memory locations, temporary file names, and upper/lower case differences in how Cygwin and DOS describe Wondows locations). I am using zlib, but not BZIP2 and LZO, since the document indicates those are optional. So, at the outset of running tests I get two filter warnings: c:\DevTools\Python25\lib\site-packages\tables\filters.py:255: FiltersWarning: compression library ``bzip2`` is not available; using ``zlib`` instead % (complib, default_complib), FiltersWarning ) c:\DevTools\Python25\lib\site-packages\tables\filters.py:255: FiltersWarning: compression library ``lzo`` is not available; using ``zlib`` instead % (complib, default_complib), FiltersWarning ) Every time (except once) I've run the test suite, the test_all() suite is generating a hard crash (an error box that reads 'The instruction at <hex location> referenced memory at <different hex location>. The memory could not be "read".') and after this python is force-closed by the OS. The top of the test_all output: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-= PyTables version: 2.0rc2 HDF5 version: 1.6.5 NumPy version: 1.0.3 Zlib version: 1.2.3 Python version: 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] Byte-ordering: little -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-= Performing only a light (yet comprehensive) subset of the test suite. ((snip)) The bottom of the verbose output: Running NetCDFFileTestCase.test_varttrs --------------------------------------- The test suite is also finding a detected error well before the hard crash, but I haven't been able to find it in the 32000+ lines in the diverted text output file so far. Here's the "flow of dots" down through the line containing the error indication: ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ ........................................................................ ........ .......................E................................................ ........ Any suggestions on what to do here? Are LZO and BZIP2 not as optional as the document indicates?
