[Pysparse-users] Requesting help with PySparse installation

[Leland M B. <lmb...@wi...>]

I'm trying to set up pysparse to run on a 64 bit red hat linux machine 
(specifically Rocks v5.2).   We have gcc v4.1.2.  We also have the 
Enthought python distribution v7.1-2 (32 bit). with python 2.7.

I'm having trouble installing pysparse v1.1.1.  When I use the command

python setup.py install

I receive this error message:

running install

running build_py

#error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc 
config?)."
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I was hoping there might be someone else on the mailing list that 
encountered this and might have a solution.  Please let me know if there 
is any more information I can supply that might be helpful in diagnosing 
the trouble.  Thanks!
