Fatal Error in Building

[Tim A Kyle]

Hi-

I am using Python 2.1 and MySQL 3.23 on Solaris 2.8 with Gnome as a windows manager. I am trying to build the interface but when I type:

> python setup.py

I get:

running build

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections

Can anyone see the problem here? My setup.py file is as follows:

elif sys.platform == "sunos5": # Solaris 2.8
    include_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/include']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/lib']
    libraries = [mysqlclient, "z"]
    runtime_library_dirs = [' /usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib']
    extra_objects = []

Thanks for your help,

Tim

This is a problem that seems to only occur with GCC on Solaris. Try using the current CVS version.

I have the same problem in Linux RedHat 7.0

Did you allready solve your problem? In such a case, could you tell me how?

Thanks.
