[python-sybase] RE: 64-bit python sybase module failure SOLVED

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I realize that my problem is because 64-bit sybase libraries are not
accomodated in the setup.py file for the 64-bit python. Hence here's a
patch to make it select the right libs. (I've never written in python. I
am a sysadmin. I was looking for some internal python variable that
would return the bit arch, but all I could come up with was a 'uname'
command. Not ideal but I do use a bedrock command that all linux os
should have.)

Subject: 64-bit python sybase module failure


I can report that sybase_OC1251_12655 build fine for python 2.4.2 under
32-bit suse 9.2

Unfortunately it dosn't build for 64-bit. I am using the 64-bit sybase
libraries, but somehow libblk.a complains about incompatibilies.

Any clue as to why this is taking place? thank you.
