New submission from Jim Garrison <jgarri...@troux.com>: Trying to build 3.1a1 on Fedora 9, the following extensions get skipped even though the requisite packages are installed
_dbm _gdbm _hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl bz2 readline zlib After looking at the code in distutils I *think* the problem is because setup.py isn't coping with library filenames such as "libreadline.so.5" and "libgdm.so.2" (with the .n) second extension. It looks like ccompiler.py#library_filename() just appends the extension, which is .so for unix, and then unixccompiler.py#find_library_file() does a simple os.path.exists() on the name, not allowing for the additional numeric extension. Note that some library filenames in Linux have two or even three such extensions, as in libreadline.so.5.2, and some extensions are not all-numeric, as in libssl.so.0.9.8g. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 85268 nosy: jgarrison, tarek severity: normal status: open title: distutils fails to find Linux libs (lib.....so.n) type: compile error versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5674> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
