Re: [Python-sybase-misc] build on ubuntu8.04

[Iwan V. <iw...@re...>]

Hi Sébastien,

I am also trying to use python-sybase with freetds.

I have applied your patch (at
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=48FDC4BF.5020802%40users.sourceforge.net )
(This was done by hand, not using patch.)

And successfully did a python setup.py install.

However, when I import Sybase in a python interpreter, I get the
following error:

>>> import Sybase
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/Sybase.py", line 11, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sybasect.py", line 7, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sybasect.py", line 6, in
__bootstrap__
ImportError: /home/iwan/.python-eggs/python_sybase-0.39-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg-tmp/sybasect.so: undefined symbol: blk_alloc
>>

Any ideas?
(I'm on Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit, using freetds-dev 0.63-3.2ubuntu1)

I compiled it using these commands:
sudo apt-get install gcc python2.5-dev freetds-dev
Then, as root:
export SYBASE=/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export CFLAGS="-DHAVE_FREETDS"
python setup.py install

Thanks
