Thanks for replying so quickly, and on a bank holiday! :) This has completely diverged from the original bug, but whatever.. Thanks for the C wrapper too! It's not appropriate for my build environment, and I know no C, having only got so far as writing a hello world program with it, so I'll probably stick with my bash wrapper script for now. Currently re-compiling python2.7.1 to support i686 machines. The first build wasn't allowing me to compile numpy with the supplied atlas libraries, failing to pick up the extension .so.3 / .so.3.0 which I think has something to do with position independent code, so I'm recompiling this 32 bit python with the following commands:- $ export CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" $ export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS $ OPT=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/32 Does that seem sensible to you?? The relevant part of my bash wrapper script (for sun grid engine) is then something like:- #!/bin/bash if [[ "`uname -m`" = "x86_64" ]] ; then export PYTHONHOME=$HOME/ else echo "arch = `uname -m`" export PYTHONHOME=$HOME/32 fi ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
