New submission from Mike Gilbert <floppymas...@gmail.com>: The nis extension module fails to build against glibc-2.26 with the "obsolete-rpc" option disabled.
Downstream bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/631488 glibc-2.26 release notes: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-08/msg00010.html The nis module is normally skipped since rpcsvc/yp_prot.h will not exist. However, if the external "libnsl" package is installed, compilation is attempted and fails as given below. building 'nis' extension x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fPIC -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -march=native -O2 -pipe -g -fwrapv -std=c99 -Wextra -Wno-unused-result -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers -I./Include -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.3/work/Python-3.6.3/Include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.3/work/Python-3.6.3 -c /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.3/work/Python-3.6.3/Modules/nismodule.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.3/work/Python-3.6.3/Modules/nismodule.o /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.3/work/Python-3.6.3/Modules/nismodule.c:17:21: fatal error: rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory #include <rpc/rpc.h> ^ compilation terminated. To summarize: glibc no longer provides rpc/rpc.h or rpcsvc/yp_prot.h. One must install a couple of external libraries to provide the same functionality. The missing rpcsvc/yp_prot.h file can be resolved by installing the "libnsl" package, which installs the header where setup.py expects to find it. The missing rpc/rpc.h file may be provided by the "libtirpc" package, but this installs the file under /usr/include/tirpc, which must be added to the include path (-I/usr/include/tirpc). Ideally, pkg-config would be used to find both libnsl and libtirpc. ---------- components: Build messages: 306090 nosy: floppymaster priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: nis module fails to build against glibc-2.26 type: compile error _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32007> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
