From spkg/logs/python-2.7.3.p5.log: [...] checking whether isinf is declared... no checking whether isnan is declared... yes checking whether isfinite is declared... no [...] These functions are defined by C99 and Python's configure does find isinf and isfinite when compiled with -D__C99FEATURES__. So we should add a compiler flag to fix this. Needs review: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14265
... while now also requiring _ctypes to properly import breaks the build of the Python spkg on at least Solaris SPARC with GCC 4.7.x (which apparently is a Python bug, but previously didn't hurt).
Slightly related: IPython not being able to import _ctypes meanwhile breaks a lot of doctests because of (IMHO superfluous) warnings regarding "%gui" not being available. (This is #14309.)
Requiring _ctypes is unrelated to the purpose of the ticket, AFAIK. -leif -- () The ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ Help Cure HTML E-Mail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
