[cx-oracle-users] python 2.3 + cx_oracle on HP-UX Itanium

[<bd...@ad...>]

Hello,

I am a very satisfied user of cx_oracle on windows and HP-UX
where Anthony once kindly helped me sort out installation
problems. Thanks again for your patience.

Because we will be moving to Oracle 10g on Itanium,
I will shortly need to compile python 2.3 and cx_oracle
on that platform. I seem to recall people having problem
compiling python on HP-UX in general, and am interested
in opinions about which compiler to use. Should I require
the HP compiler, or is gcc known to work for this purpose ?

A binary build of gcc is provided by HP at
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-3.4.3/

"uname -a" reports the following, in case it helps:
HP-UX prisme20 B.11.23 U ia64 1530408444 unlimited-user license


Thanks for any hint,


Bernard.
