I hope somebody can help me with this one: I am trying to compile the python source from potato/source and I am getting errors while compiling the dbmmodule.c. The errors seems to be related to my lib6c-dev. I have the following installed version:
Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.0.7.19981211-6 Some of the errors were: ----------------------- make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/python-1.5.2/Modules' gcc -fpic -I/usr/include/db1 -g -O2 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./dbmmodule.c In file included from /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h:42, from ./dbmmodule.c:40: /usr/include/db1/db.h:120: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/include/db1/db.h:120: parse error before `__PMT' snip /usr/include/db1/db.h:142: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union and a lot of other similar warnigs and parse errors ... ../Include/pyerrors.h:42: previous declaration of `PyErr_SetString' ./dbmmodule.c:210: invalid type argument of `->' ./dbmmodule.c:268: `dbm_getattr' undeclared here (not in a function) ./dbmmodule.c:268: initializer element for `Dbmtype.tp_getattr' is not constant make[2]: *** [dbmmodule.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/python-1.5.2/Modules' make[1]: *** [sharedmods] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/python-1.5.2' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 ------------------------------------ Johann -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Johann Spies Windsorlaan 19 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3201 Pietermaritzburg | | Tel/Faks Nr. +27 331-46-1310 Suid-Afrika (South Africa) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not."
